will delete the method ``request.session.Session.request``
so that any attempts within tests to create http requests will fail.

example: setting an environment variable for the test session
-------------------------------------------------------------

If you would like for an environment variable to be
configured for the entire test session, you can add this to your
top-level ``conftest.py`` file:

.. code-block:: python

# content of conftest.py
@pytest.fixture(scope='session', autouse=True)
def enable_debugging(monkeypatch):
monkeypatch.setenv("DEBUGGING_VERBOSITY", "4")

This auto-use fixture will set the ``DEBUGGING_VERBOSITY`` environment variable for
the entire test session.

Note that the ability to use a ``monkeypatch`` fixture from a ``session``-scoped
fixture was added in pytest-3.0.
