So that would basically be:

  test_expect_success "PYTHONPATH=$PWD${PYTHONPATH:+:$PYTHONPATH} \
                       ${NOTMUCH_PYTHON} -m pytest \
                       --log-file=$TMP_DIRECTORY/test.output \
                       $NOTMUCH_SRCDIR/bindings/python-cffi/build/stage"
(if it worked)

perhaps 'cd' in subshell is clearer

(i also wonder what --rootdir= does (and how new pytest is needed for that)

Right -- just that pytest-3 may not be available -- to iterate (tested)...

if ${NOTMUCH_PYTHON} -m pytest -c $conf --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then

(in this particular case redirecting both stdout and stderr is needed
 to silence noise in all 'ordinary' cases, being 
   1) pytest module not available -- silence stderr
   2) pytest version not new enough -- silence stderr
   3) pytest exists and is new enought -- silence stdout )
