Hello Vincent,
Thanks for submitting this patch, which I have applied to next after
doing some changes. See below.

This is not the correct way of providing dependency comments. We don't
care about the libyang dependency being commented on because you're
selecting libyang. We need comments about toolchain dependencies.
Changed to:
+comment "python-libyang needs a toolchain w/ threads, dynamic library"
+ depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_4
+ depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS || BR2_STATIC_LIBS

Rather than overriding test_run() to be able to run your custom logic
after running the same Python script, I've moved the XML validation
logic inside the sample Python script itself:
+xml = node.print_mem('xml', pretty=True)
+tree = ElementTree.fromstringlist(xml)
+assert tree.tag == '{urn:example}data'
+assert tree.find('.//{*}hostname').text == 'foobar'
+assert len(tree.find('.//{*}interface')) == 2
Committed to next with those changes. Thanks!
Thomas
