They test the usage and interaction of python packages installed into a
nix profile.

Currently, they use the system profile and are therefore NixOS-specific,
but could be fixed easily to use any profile.

Further, it would be enough to have a profile and an empty directory to
run the tests with, the nixos test isolation with qemu seems to be
overkill.

Does that qualify for a python-tests jobset within nixpkgs?
Where to go from here?
