With that information, my guess would be that the way the web service

My intuition is that the lambda creates a closure that captures the
value of some_seq. If that value is mutable, and "modify some_seq"
means "mutate the value", then I'd expect each element of seq to be
tested against the value of some_seq that is current at the time the
test occurs, i.e. when the

I've not had this problem myself, but py.test has the idea of "autouse
fixtures" which would work for this situation. Define your setup call
in a function, declare it with the pytest.fixture decorator with
autouse=True, and it'll be run before every test. The declaration goes
