Description

While trying to run pytest on the TA-Lib project (and many other projects) it fails to find this library:

Research direction

Reproduce the supplied pytest command and inspect collection of talib/test_abstract.py and talib/test_data.py, focusing on why talib._ta_lib is unavailable during collection despite succeeding in a direct Python import. Compare the test runner's import environment with the system-wide site-packages location; done means identifying a reproducible pytest-side cause and a regression test or documented resolution.
