Sometimes pytest errors out with an `ImportError` during its tests collection stage when a Python package/directory containing the test module does not have an `__init__.py` in it. This is being observed under Python 3.9 and higher. The patch provides a workaround for this problem but does not address the root cause which is currently unknown.
