unittest in Python 2.6 has to SkipTest exception, but test_support has a TestSkipped which can be used to skip the whole file. TestSkipped should not be used in a test function. Following tests have to be fixed: test_decimal, test_ioctl, test_largefile, test_nis, test_ossaudiodev, test_pty. Replace raise by return. To dislpay, print >>sys.stderr can be used.

TestSkipped docstring should also explain that it should not be used in a test function, but only to skip the whole file.

Python 2.6 is in bugfix only mode, I don't think that anyone would like to spend time on this. There are more important (real) bugs.
