I check few other quite new projects which were written by RH python guys.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/devassistant/
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/python-pytest-multihost/

They run unit tests as part of build process and unit tests are not installed.
But maybe I was not just lucky enough to find modern Python project.

Anyway `ipatests` are installed by default with freeipa.
If you want to use non-defalt option for client-only build
then it is possible to install `ipatests` as well.

Thank you for your comments.
