platform doesn't offer all the required facilities (like large
file support), even if all the required modules are available.
* ``ResourceDenied`` - this is raised when a test requires a resource that
is not available. Primarily used by 'requires'.
* ``verbose`` - you can use this variable to control print output. Many
modules use it. Search for "verbose" in the test_*.py files to see
lots of examples.
* ``forget(module_name)`` - attempts to cause Python to "forget" that it
loaded a module and erase any PYC files.
* ``is_resource_enabled(resource)`` - Returns a boolean based on whether
the resource is enabled or not.
* ``requires(resource [, msg])`` - if the required resource is not
available the ResourceDenied exception is raised.
* ``verify(condition, reason='test failed')``. Use this instead of::
assert condition[, reason]
