Cannot access db in fixtures at 'session' level.

[ludbek]

I am trying to auto use a fixture at session level. So I kept the fixture at conftest.py. The code is as follows.

import pytest

pytestmark = [
    pytest.mark.django_db(transaction = True),]

@pytest.fixture(scope="session", autouse = True)
def afixture():
    a_func_which_talks_to_db()

Running test throws following error.
Failed: Database access not allowed, use the "django_db" mark to enable it.

I have no help to offer particularly, other than to note while researching a different problem I've seen issues (like #33) which mention the scope must be function. I'm not sure if that is still the case but YVMV.
