setting up a development environment is difficult

I recently spun up a dev environment for contributing a PR to plotly.py and ran into some issues that I think can be addressed fairly readily.

1. pytest is pinned to 3.5.1 in packages/python/plotly/optional-requirements.txt and this version simply didn't run, failing with an internal TypeError. I upgraded it to 7.4.2 and it worked. Is there a reason its pinned to such an old version? can this be unpinned?
2. contributing.md does not currently mention the dependancy on Plotly Orca. I was rather surprised to come back to all my tests failing, and somewhat hilariously the orca Ubuntu screen reader reading a large chunk of Pytest's terminal output to me. Just adding an external dependency in the testing section would do the trick I reckon.
3. There were a number of missing packages required by optional tests that aren't in packages/python/plotly/optional-requirements.txt so those tests failed. The following packages need to be added: polars vaex scikit-image statsmodels pyarrow

btw for 1,the error thrown by pytest 3.5.1 is:

  File "/home/ned/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/envs/book/lib/python3.11/site-packages/_pytest/assertion/rewrite.py", line 332, in _rewrite_test
    co = compile(tree, fn.strpath, "exec", dont_inherit=True)
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: required field "lineno" missing from alias

Commencez par packages/python/plotly/optional-requirements.txt et contributing.md, puis reproduisez l’échec de pytest 3.5.1 dans l’environnement Python 3.11 indiqué. Vérifiez les dépendances des tests optionnels et la documentation relative aux tests. Le travail est terminé lorsque la configuration documentée exécute les tests sans l’erreur pytest signalée ni échec dû à des paquets manquants.
