I am not sure what you mean exactly.  py.test needs a way to reference 
a python executable ...

... and with PyPy we need a way to specify different object spaces for testing. 
Already possible in the pypy-branch.  But this all gets a bit off-topic to the 
original issues raised in this thread (regarding Items, Collectors, 
state management and external test addressability).
