Marking a pytest.Item subclass

I'm writing a test suite which loads tests from external (non-Python) files, in a similar manner to the YAML example in the documentation. However, I cannot work out what should be have pytest.mark.foo called on to mark a specific item as "foo". Obviously I can't use it as a decorator as is always done in the documentation (there's no single function to decorate!), but I was assuming it would be plausible to do something similar to yield pytest.mark.foo(YamlItem(name, self, spec)), but this does not work. Is there any way to mark such an item?

You can use Node.add_marker function (which is a superclass of pytest.Item):

def add_marker(self, marker):
    """ dynamically add a marker object to the node.

    ``marker`` can be a string or pytest.mark.* instance.
    """
