You can turn off the file level requires and provides on a per package basis.

SKIP_FILEDEPS_${PN}-ptest = '1'

Otherwise (for rpm packages) the system will attempt to discover and use the
per-file interpreter and other dependencies.  Since ptest is only tests, and the
dependencies here are specific to tests -- it should be safe to disable them.

(If that isn't the right approach for some reason, there are some other ways to
do a file level provide, but they're significantly more complicated and rarely
used.)
