Running py.test with the following files fail:

pytest.ini:

#!ini

[pytest]
addopts = --doctest-modules
usefixtures = myfixture

conftest.py:

#!python

import pytest


@pytest.fixture()
def myfixture(monkeypatch):
    monkeypatch.setenv('MYENV', 'value')

test_env.py:

#!python

"""
>>> os.environ['MYENV'] == 'value'
True
"""

import os


def test():
    assert os.environ['MYENV'] == 'value'

Normal test passes but doctest fails:

@RonnyPfannschmidt doctest provide "getfixture" to access fixtures these days. Providing "usefixtures" makes sense, subsequently.

fix issue275 - allow usefixtures and autouse fixtures
for running doctest text files.
