python-module(5) says:
The module also appends to
- RUN_DEPENDS unless MODPY_RUNDEP is set to No,
- BUILD_DEPENDS unless MODPY_BUILDDEP is set to No or NO_BUILD is set
to Yes,
- TEST_DEPENDS if MODPY_PYTEST is set to Yes unless MODPY_TESTDEP is
set to No.
I misinterpreted that as saying that setting MODPY_TESTDEP to Yes would
also append Python to TEST_DEPENDS. The actual behavior seems pretty
unintuitive to me. It's not limited to Python 2 either.
