py27-parsedatetime fails to build -- Couldn't find index page for 'pytest-runner'

I'm trying to install certbot, and it's failing at py27-parsedatetime with:

Looks like the dependency exists for depends_test.

I changed the test dependencies to build dependencies to get past this locally, but that's obviously not a good strategy for solving this correctly.
