pytest/mock should not (and are unlikely to actually be) be build/run
requirements, even though they are declare in setup.py:install_requires:

https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt/blob/master/setup.py#L32

Not withstanding, mock is only for python 2.6.

virtualenv shouldn't be required either, as it is a deployment specific
component.

Upstream needs to fix their dependency declarations, which we should be
patching locally in the meantime.
