Another +1 here.

Is there any way to conveniently extract the failure information from
Python's test suite? Then we could do something like:

    expected_failures = set(...)
    # do stuff to get the actual failures from Python tests
    if not actual_failures.issubset(expected_failures):
        # spkg-check says tests failed
    else:
        # spkg-check exits normally
