Research direction

Start with tox.ini and inspect the platform list that currently includes linux and darwin. Check the OpenIndiana note and issue #52 about disabling the flaky plugin, then update the supported-platform configuration so the test suite can run for sunos5.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The tox.ini limits the testing support for linux and darwin only, but there are some other non-Windows platforms that are able to run tests properly. I just confirmed that on OpenIndiana (sunos5 platform) all tests pass (once flaky plugin is disabled - see #52), so please add sunos5 to list of supported platforms in tox.ini. Thank you.
