Daniel Hahler be514178d0 tox: remove platform restriction, only used for pexpect
This would prevent TOXENV=py37-pexpect-… from running on e.g. FreeBSD.
And even on Windows it is pytest's job of skipping the tests then.  This
was probably still from when the pexpect env was only running
pexpect-based tests.

The ``pytest`` framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet
scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.

An example of a simple test:

.. code-block:: python

    # content of test_sample.py
    def inc(x):
        return x + 1


    def test_answer():
        assert inc(3) == 5


To execute it::

    $ pytest
    ============================= test session starts =============================
    collected 1 items

    test_sample.py F

    ================================== FAILURES ===================================
    _________________________________ test_answer _________________________________

        def test_answer():
    >       assert inc(3) == 5
    E       assert 4 == 5
    E        +  where 4 = inc(3)

    test_sample.py:5: AssertionError
    ========================== 1 failed in 0.04 seconds ===========================


Due to ``pytest``'s detailed assertion introspection, only plain ``assert`` statements are used. See `getting-started <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/getting-started.html#our-first-test-run>`_ for more examples.


Features

  managing small or parametrized long-lived test resources;

- Can run `unittest <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/unittest.html>`_ (or trial),
  `nose <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/nose.html>`_ test suites out of the box;

- Python 3.5+ and PyPy3;

- Rich plugin architecture, with over 315+ `external plugins <http://plugincompat.herokuapp.com>`_ and thriving community;
