despite looking prettier this does not work because it looks for the
"notdb" module in the current directory. It could work (maybe) if we set
PYTHONPATH. Would that be better than the 'cd'?

I think something like

conf=$(mktemp)
printf "[pytest]\nminversion=3.0\n" > $conf
if pytest-3 -c $conf --version >/dev/null; then
   have_pytest=1
else
   have_pytest=0
fi
rm -f $(conf)

should work.
