[OE-core] [PATCH v2] python/python3: Move test files to test package

[Alejandro Hernandez]

Hey Ross,


I believe that if we want to go with this approach we would need to add 
these packages as "special_packages" on the manifest script, that way 
the script will simply avoid checking dependencies for them and will 
pass them without modifications, this will also cause these packages to 
appear earlier on the list, it does require some tweaking because 
directories such as lib/python/email shouldnt be on the email package 
itself, so we would need to take out such directories from the packages 
and rerun the script, that will repopulate the email package (ad others) 
correctly  with the files needed instead of the directory, but to be 
quite honest it might be easier to go with the first approach and delete 
such files on do_install()


Cheers,

Alejandro
