Excerpted tidbits from our Django app's conftest during the Django 1 to 2 and Python 2 to 3 migration ("TR" stands for "Tech Refresh", circa mid 2020), with parts related to wrapping the test session in a DB transaction, and other parts related to bulk-skipping functionality. Tested on py2.7/3.6, Django 1.11/2.0.x, pytest 4.6.11.
