Would this work by using monkeypatching, but using a method on _pytest.pytester.TmpTestDir which wraps around inline_run or inline_runsource? That would seem like a fairly reasonable approach. It could simply skip with an appropriate message if the meta lib is importable and print the reversed python code to stdout for capsys to collect. If you would like to go the full plugin way I believe you just need to hook in before collection happens. I imagine pytest_configure would be a reasonable hook for that, but have to admit I haven't tried it.
