There are ways around this. pyUnit test programs are simple executables that return 0 on success and 1 on failure, so they can work with the "plain" interface of Kyua. We can then mark the test program as requiring python in the Kyuafile, just as we already do for some in-tree perl-based test programs. And then, we can tell whichever driver we are using to set up the test VMs to "pkg install python" right before running the test suite. We do this already, at least from autotest, to install perl and other required utilities. I'm sure we'd do the same for the Jenkins case.
