No, that should not be a problem. If spkg-check can run a test, spkg-install should be able to too. There is the odd package where Python is needed to run the tests, but Python is not needed to build the package. They are rare. In this case, Python is already marked as a prerequisite in spkg/standard/deps, so no changes are needed. This should be as simple as just running the tests from spkg-install, unless I have overlooked something.
