+This module provides decorator functions which can be applied to test objects
+in order to skip those objects when certain conditions occur. A sample use case
+is to detect if the platform is missing ``matplotlib``. If so, any test objects
+which require ``matplotlib`` and marked with ``skip_if_no_mpl`` will be skipped
+by ``pytest`` during the execution of the test suite.
+
+The decorators can be applied to classes:
+
+@skip_if_some_reason
+class Foo():
+    ...
+
+Or individual functions:
+
+@skip_if_some_reason
+def test_foo():
+    ...
