title: Is there a way to run "setup" only once for the entire suite of Python tests?
body: <p>I know about the "setUp" and "setUpClass" test fixtures in Python but I have not been able to find a way to implement a setup just once for the entire suite of tests ... no matter if one test or one test class or all test classes are run.</p>
  
  <p>Might anyone know a way to do this?</p>
