[TIP] coverage - conditionally exclude code?

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

Hello,

Is it possible to conditionally exclude bits of code from coverage measurements?
For example:
-under Python 2, can I exclude Python-3-only pieces of code?
-under Linux, can I exclude Windows-specific functions?


I have been looking here, but it does not appear to be possible:

The only way I can think of is by somehow dynamically adjusting the exclude_lines in .coveragerc


Great tool, by the way! The html reports really help enormously to discover untested pieces of code.

 
Regards,

Albert-Jan
