I like your patch, it removes many duplicate code :-)
Some comments:
- I don't like an if surrounding the whole function, I prefer "if not ...:
return" to avoid the (useless) indentation. Well, it's my coding style, do as
you want.
- You should add docstrings. Something like "Raise a SkipTest if the OS is
Linux and the kernel version if lesser than min_version. For example,
support.requires_linux_version(2, 6, 28) raises a SkipTest if the version is
lesser than 2.6.28."
- You should move the "if version < ..." outside the try/except ValueError
+ # platform.release() is something like '2.6.33.7-desktop-2mnb'
+ version_string = platform.release().split('-')[0]
Dummy micro-optimization: .split('-', 1)[0] or .partition('-')[0] is maybe
better than .split('-')[0].
