 Usually it is a bad idea to make application code
 behave differently if called from a test.  But if you
 absolutely must find out if your application code is
-running from a test you can do something like this:
+running from a test you can do this:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-    # content of your_module.py
+    import os
 
 
-    _called_from_test = False

-.. 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
+    if os.environ.get("PYTEST_VERSION") is not None:
+        # things you want to to do if your code is called by pytest
         ...
     else:
-        # called "normally"
+        # things you want to to do if your code is not called by pytest
         ...
