Thanks for the code.
I am doing similar thing, only thing is setup is called twice which is not a
problem though.

it's known and expected behaviour. The setup/teardown mechanics apply
to the generator which yields/generates the actual test functions/params.
However, you might call setup/teardown methods directly from
the generated tests. Find below a code example which you can
run with "py.test test_gensetup.py" if you write it to a file.
hope it helps.
best,

---- test_gensetup.py ----
def mysetup(para):
print "mysetup gentest", para
def myteardown(para):
print "myteardown gentest", para
def gentest(para):
assert 4 == para
def gentestwrapper(para):
mysetup(para) # could also call existing setup_function()/setup_method()
try:
gentest(para)
finally:
myteardown(para)
def test_generated():
for x in 1,2,3:
yield gentestwrapper, x
