# things you want to to do if your code is called by pytest
.. code-block:: python
# content of conftest.py
def pytest_configure(config):
your_module._called_from_test = True
and then check for the ``your_module._called_from_test`` flag:
.. code-block:: python
if your_module._called_from_test:
# called from within a test run

else: else:
