When you say you created a setup fixture but it didn't work, what
didn't work exactly?
For example, if you just did something like this:
def setup():
engine = ...
Session = ...
session = Session()
...then that won't work because session is a local variable inside the
setup function. At a minimum you'd need to put something like "global
session" at the beginning of the function.

Simon and Panov,
I really appreciate your help with this, I think I have it worked out
now. I will document what I did in case others have similar problems.
In py.test you can define a fixture (in the tests file) like:
@py.test fixture
def setup_session():
engine = create_engine('sqlite:///mydatabasefile.db',echo=True)
Session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = Session()
return session
Then in the test you need to pass the fixture function as an argument:
def get_list_of_filesprocessed(setup_session):
result = get_list_of_filesprocessed()
assert(result[0] == 'Expected first file name')
I was not properly passing the fixture to the test.
Thanks again for the assistance!
