that's not the correct solution, ned. what that will do is when someone runs a combination of python and MSYS under wine, the test will be skipped incorrectly.
thanks to the work that i did back in 2009, wine has now been improved significantly and has been capable of running python correctly for over 3 years now. i use it to do testing of pyjamas-desktop.
bottom line: skipping regression tests by making assumptions based solely and exclusively on the platform type is not good news.
