[pytest-dev] top-level conftest.py not recognized when running tests in sub-directories

[Anatoly Bubenkov]

the thing is, fixtures have proper dependency injection working
but combing them with oldish setup_ methods doesn't always work properly
out of the box - just because it's impossible to determine the 'right'
order, because there's no 'right' order, it's all up to you to determine
the dependency tree
