I see the issue now. The problem is that pytest is trying to import c…

…onf.py as a test file, and recommonmark isn't installed in the test environment. We need to:

Tell pytest to ignore the docs directory
Make sure recommonmark is installed in both environments
First, create or update your pytest.ini file:
pytest.ini
Then update your python-package.yml workflow to include recommonmark in the test dependencies:
python-package.yml
This should:
Prevent pytest from trying to import conf.py as a test file
Ensure recommonmark is available in both the test and documentation environments
