The clang tester already uses python, and there is 'make check-lit'
which can be used for testing.
I don't think a python dependency is a problem, you are more likely to
find python installed by default on various OSes than dejagnu.

And you can always make the test optional. i.e. if python is not
installed, skip the test.
