pytest 5.2 was just released, and with it, a cool fun feature called dynamic scope fixtures. Anthony Sottile so tilly is one of the pytest core developers, so I thought it be fun to have Anthony describe this new feature for us.

We also talk about parametrized testing and really what is fixture scope and then what is dynamic scope.

Special Guest: Anthony Sottile.
