Ideally, yes ...  sorry, it's been a lot of work to try and get the python
testing for this stuff in order.

FWIW, the GitLab CI jobs for check-python-pipenv and check-python-tox now
basically run "iotest 297", and those jobs will use virtual environments to
force a supportable version of pylint/mypy/etc. These targets are the ones
I put the most effort into, and those are the ones that "just work".

It's on my list to, one way or another, drop 297 and use the python testing
infra to cover this instead, but I have some ground to cover for
usability/convenience before I can pitch it.

(At the risk of sounding like I am task offloading, if you send a patch to
add version checking to 297, I can review it.)
