All pyspec tests fail with nil pointer dereference

[Rjected]

We run the pyspec tests in CI and see this in the pyspec tests after the recent PR to use the correct image:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

I've checked this, and it appears the upstream fixtures have a totally different format now that isn't supported by the test runner.

They are developing a new version of the pyspec simulator over in execution-spec-tests, so maybe no point in trying to fix up the existing one...
