interesting little plugin. On a general note, using "pytest_configure"
is not the best way to setup global state. It's better to do this::
@pytest.fixture(scope="session", autouse=True):
def setup_twisted_reactor(request):
...
request.addfinalizer(...)
This autouse-fixture (i.e. an automatically active fixture without the
need to use it as a funcarg or declare a "usefixtures") will be executed
only in processes which execute tests, so works cleaner with distributed
testing. The pytest_configure is also called for the xdist-master
process which does not execute or collect tests at all.
If there were multiple reactors / global states you could also use
"params" to run the whole test suite multiple times with different
reactors - only one reactor / global state instance will be active at
any time. That's not possible when using pytest_configure.
best,
holger
