This is definitely something useful.

I think adding python dependency is a shift in a wrong direction for
for ptest-runner. The assumption that most embedded devices (tiny or
not) have python might not be correct.
The alternative of using the old version of ptest-runner only
complicate things.
I do think this kind of work is really useful but this should be done
into a testing framework that runs outside of the DUT.
