Actually, this isn't just because Python is the language-of-the-week.

selftest/target/*.pm has become a mess over the last couple of years,
mostly because new additions to it are copy-n-pasted from elsewhere. It
needs thorough cleaning up anyway.

We have Python bindings for a lot of our setup code. If
selftest/target/*.pm was in Python, it could directly use those bindings
rather than shelling out. The Python Subunit producers/consumer library
is much more mature than the Perl one.

If we're going to rewrite large chunks of selftest/target/*.pm anyway,
we might as well take advantage of those existing bindings and libraries.

Cheers,

Jelmer
