This pytest plugin was extracted from pytest-salt-factories. It's a collection of of useful skip markers created to simplify and reduce code required to skip tests in some common scenarios, for example, platform specific tests.

Installing Skip Markers is as simple as:

python -m pip install pytest-skip-markers

And, that's honestly it.

Once installed, you can now skip some tests with some simple pytest markers, for example.

import pytest


@pytest.mark.skip_unless_on_linux
def test_on_linux():
    assert True
