[issue5944] test_os failure on OS X, probably related to PEP 383

["Martin v. Löwis" <report@bugs.python.org> at psf.upfronthosting.co.za]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I think skipping the test entirely would be even better on Darwin. The
test is really meant to pass only on systems that treat file names as
uninterpreted byte sequences (as such, it may also fail on Linux if the
file system driver enforces UTF-8).

To skip it, it probably would be best to move it out of the "not win32"
block, and into a "neither win32 nor darwin" block - or use the skipIf
decorator.
