From the examples given for the circleci/python ORB and the package list provided for the  
cimg/python:3.10.1 image I would say that pytest is not installed by default, but instead loaded by your selected package manager.

The ORB documentation can be found here

```

One of the examples shows pytest being used with poetry - where poetry is passed pytest as a parameter for the executed command line. Only the pip example has pytest being used directly on the command line.
