[TIP] Ideology

[C. Titus Brown]

-> The SkipTest exception is an interesting solution.  It seems like it  
-> would work well for tests where fixtures aren't expensive, but I've  
-> found that explicitly tagging tests to be run or not works better for  
-> me.  The tag can be applied conditionally via a decorator when the  
-> test is imported, so you still get the dynamic behavior based on  
-> available resources.

In pygr, I actually raise SkipTest in the setUp function, so it doesn't
cost anything.

If I could use decorators I might have gone with tagging.
