I'm packaging your module as an rpm package so I'm using the typical PEP517 based build, install and test cycle used on building packages from non-root account.

python3 -sBm build -w --no-isolation
because I'm calling build with --no-isolation I'm using during all processes only locally installed modules
install .whl file in </install/prefix> using installer module
run pytest with $PYTHONPATH pointing to sitearch and sitelib inside </install/prefix>
build is performed in env which is cut off from access to the public network (pytest is executed with -m "not network")

Here is pytest output:

+ PYTHONPATH=/home/tkloczko/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/python-branca-0.8.0-2.fc37.x86_64/usr/lib64/python3.10/site-packages:/home/tkloczko/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/python-branca-0.8.0-2.fc37.x86_64/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages

Please let me know if you need more details or want me to perform some diagnostics.

Start with tests/test_utilities.py::test_color_brewer_extendability and run it under the reported offline pytest setup. Inspect linked pull request #193 and compare the test and full non-network suite runtimes; done means the test no longer stalls during the reported packaging test cycle.
