pytest error setup.cfg:21: unexpected value continuation

[wahabk]

While working on a PR I got this issue when running tests on the release 1.1.4 of podman-hpc:

$ pytest
ERROR: ~/repos/podman-hpc/setup.cfg:21: unexpected value continuation

However, the tests run if I comment out the following end of setup.cfg:

[options.data_files]
    etc/podman_hpc =
    etc/01-gpu.conf
    ...

This is likely an error on my side. Is there a pytest config / method to run pytest that I am forgetting?
