What about test/py/requirements.txt ?

Really we should document the packages needed. The doc/build/gcc.rst
file is supposed to do that, where it says 'Depending on the build
targets further packages maybe needed'. So perhaps we could add things
there, and even split out the things needed for tests?

Also we don't run 'make test' or 'make ptest' in CI and I know from
Tom that he doesn't use it either.
