Lambdas aren't treated any differently by py.test; it is the signature
that is different:

    lambda: cleanup("Doing cleanup!")

The function cleanup takes a single argument, but the lambda function
created here takes no arguments, then calls cleanup() with one argument.
The equivalent using a named function instead of a lambda:

    def wrapper():
        cleanup("Doing cleanup!")
