We use mako in two places. As Matt pointed out for generating tests, in
this capacity it's a build-time dependency. It's also used to generate
the pages for the HTML summary.

I think you can sidestep the issue using pip,
pip install --user mako
will install a new copy of mako in your ~/.local directory, which should
be sufficient.
