Expected Behavior

The test command succeeds.

Context

I was trying to package nvitop for NixOS.
The installation process for python applications calls python setup.py test by default.

Steps to Reproduce

1. python setup.py test

@GaetanLepage Hi, currently, there are no tests provided in the repo, so it always fails. Also, setuptools is going to deprecate the test command:

• Deprecate test command pypa/setuptools#1684
• Deprecate the test command pypa/setuptools#1878
• Python: python setup.py test is deprecated NixOS/nixpkgs#71897

The installation process for python applications calls python setup.py test by default.

Is there a way to bypass this?

[GaetanLepage]

Ok ! Thank you for this precision, I found a way to disable this phase of the nix packaging process.
