Disable a Python unit test with a message

Question

My version of Python does not support

    @unittest.skip("demonstrating skipping")

from Disable individual Python unit tests temporarily, I understand how to use a decorator to achieve this, i.e.,

def disabled(f):
    def _decorator():
        print f.__name__ + ' has been disabled'
    return _decorator

@disabled
def testFoo():
    '''Foo test case'''
    print 'this is foo test case'

testFoo()

However, the decorator does not support providing a message for the skipping. May I know how I can achieve this please? I basically want something like

def disabled(f, msg):
    def _decorator():
        print f.__name__ + ' has been disabled' + msg
    return _decorator

@disabled("I want to skip it")
def testFoo():
    '''Foo test case'''
    print 'this is foo test case'

testFoo()

You can modify the decorator like so:

def disabled(msg):
    def _decorator(f):
        def _wrapper():
            print f.__name__ + ' has been disabled ' + msg
        return _wrapper
    return _decorator


@disabled("I want to skip it")
def testFoo():
    '''Foo test case'''
    print 'this is foo test case'


testFoo()
