Hi Steffen,

Unfortunately, this package is broken and unmaintained upstream:
https://github.com/ftobia/pytest-ordering/issues/73

So I suggest that unless upstream starts working on it again or
someone takes over responsibility for it, we don't actually let it
into Debian.

In the meantime, I'm intending to make an ITP for python-order to
support the new version of Spyder; see the discussion here:
https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/pull/14935

Best wishes,

   Julian
