Description

There appears to be no way to define the scope of the resulting fixtures. Not sure if this is unsupported or undocumented, but it is a needed feature. Creating a new fixture scoped for "module" or "session" is not workable as the scope change results in an exception. Currently, all registered Factories are 'function' scoped.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the exception caused when a registered Factory uses module or session scope, then trace how resulting fixtures and registered Factories receive their scope in the pytest runner integration. Done means module- and session-scoped fixtures can be created without an exception, with the supported behavior documented or covered by tests.
