[issue11503] Expand test coverage in posixpath

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

The patch includes an unconditional "import posix" that will fail on Windows.

posixpath is available on windows (although not *all* its functionality makes sense), so the whole test should not be skipped - but it is reasonable to skip just the new tests using posix.

Something like:

try:
    import posix
except ImportError:
    posix = None

Then decorated tests that use posix with:

@unittest.skipIf(posix is None, "Test requires posix module")
