[Python] running a package pytest with poetry

I am new to poetry and want to get it set-up with pytest. I have a package mylib in the following set-up

├── dist
│ ├── mylib-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl
│ └── mylib-0.0.1.tar.gz
├── poetry.lock
├── mylib
│ ├── functions.py
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── utils.py
├── pyproject.toml
├── README.md
└── tests
└── test_functions.py

poetry run pytest
