I'm gearing up to do some work (hopefully dive into fixing https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326650).  I've gotten as far as closing the repo and running the existing unit tests.  I get 4 failures:

FAILED tests/make_dist_tests.py::TestMakeDist::test_handle_args - AssertionError: '/Users/roy/pywikibot/pywikibot-git/tests/make_dist_tests.py' != '/Users/roy/pywikibot/venv/bin/pytest'
FAILED tests/make_dist_tests.py::TestMakeDist::test_handle_args_empty - AssertionError: '/Users/roy/pywikibot/pywikibot-git/tests/make_dist_tests.py' != '/Users/roy/pywikibot/venv/bin/pytest'
FAILED tests/make_dist_tests.py::TestMakeDist::test_handle_args_nodist - AssertionError: '/Users/roy/pywikibot/pywikibot-git/tests/make_dist_tests.py' != '/Users/roy/pywikibot/venv/bin/pytest'
FAILED tests/site_detect_tests.py::MediaWikiSiteTestCase::test_proofreadwiki - RuntimeError: Unsupported url: https://www.proofwiki.org/wiki/

Are these known issues?  Or something wrong with my environment?

I'm working on MacOS Monterey, with Python 3.9.
