+# bpo-46623: On s390x, when a hardware accelerator is used, using different
+# ways to compress data with zlib can produce different compressed data.
+# Simplified test_pair() code:
+#
+#   def func1(data):
+#       return zlib.compress(data)
+#
+#   def func2(data)
+#       co = zlib.compressobj()
+#       x1 = co.compress(data)
+#       x2 = co.flush()
+#       return x1 + x2
+#
+# On s390x if zlib uses a hardware accelerator, func1() creates a single
+# "final" compressed block whereas func2() produces 3 compressed blocks (the
+# last one is a final block). On other platforms with no accelerator, func1()
+# and func2() produce the same compressed data made of a single (final)
+# compressed block.
+#
+# Only the compressed data is different, the decompression returns the original
+# data:
+#
+#   zlib.decompress(func1(data)) == zlib.decompress(func2(data)) == data
+#
+# Make the assumption that s390x always has an accelerator to simplify the skip
+# condition. Windows doesn't have os.uname() but it doesn't support s390x.
