I was trying to get the runtime test (the emulator) to execute the scipy
fulltest ("python -c import scipy; scipy.test()"), as I was thinking it
would be the best thing to do.
But it's not a straightforward scenario and it's super heavy, you need the
repo sources and the pytest suite.

Running small but several portions of the lib is probably the best thing to
do.
