[TIP] pytest: Setup/TearDown with fixtures

[Максим Харандзюк]

HI,

Sorry, maybe my opinion is a kind of oftopic but I think there is no reason
to use fixtures at all. Instead of fixtures you should use factory_boy
<http://factoryboy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/> library(or similar).

As I said it is just IMHO and maybe I miss some scenario when there is no
way to avoid fixtures(for example, when you don't use ORM). But I think
those cases are rare.
