The skipIf decorator exists precisely for this purpose. Generally, 
testing availability of resources (like existence of an API) should be 
done outside of the testing code. In other words, test_X should never be 
a test in the first place, it should be part of the setting up of the 
tests; the tests themselves should be completely independent of each other.
