Ran 327 tests in 629.369s

    S means skipped, . means success.

    http://readthedocs.org/docs/nose/en/latest/plugins/skip.html

    This plugin installs a SKIP error class for the SkipTest exception. When SkipTest is raised, the exception will be logged in the skipped attribute of the result, ‘S’ or ‘SKIP’ (verbose) will be output, and the exception will not be counted as an error or failure.
