Comment 2 for bug 1529047

They *do* work on unittest but they don't work from testtools:

## testtools + skipping

```python
import unittest
from testtools import skipIf

@skipIf(True, 'Ha!')
class FooTests(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        pass

    def test_foo(self):
        print 'foo'

    def test_bar(self):
        print 'bar'

unittest.main()
```

Result: Ran 0 tests in 0.000s

## testtools + no skipping

```python
import unittest
from testtools import skipIf

@skipIf(False, 'Ha!')
class FooTests(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        pass

    def test_foo(self):
        print 'foo'

    def test_bar(self):
        print 'bar'

unittest.main()
```

Result:
bar
.foo
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 2 tests in 0.000s

## unittest + skipping

import unittest
from unittest import skipIf

@skipIf(True, 'Ha!')
class FooTests(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        pass

    def test_foo(self):
        print 'foo'

    def test_bar(self):
        print 'bar'

unittest.main()
```

Result:
