I usually do this by creating a new funcarg for the required setup:
def pytest_funcarg__my_setup(request):
monkey = request.getfuncargvalue(monkeypatch)
monkey.setattr(module, 'something', foo)
tmpdir = request.getfuncargvalue(tmpdir)
return tmpdir.mkdir('bar')
def test1(my_setup):
pass
This seems a fairly neat solution to me.
