passing variable to pytest_sessionfinish

I am looking for a way to pass some variable from session start to session end in pytest.

More specifically I am using fixture scooped session where I create a serial-com object eg.:

@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def init_setup(request):
# Create serial_com object

After this step I run some tests.

Finally I have pytest_sessionfinish(session, exitsstatus):, in here i would like to close my com object i created eg.:

def pytest_sessionfinish(session, exitstatus):
# close comport obj.

The problem here is I dont know if it is possible to store my comport obj. in one of these two arguments?

If not, is there a better way of doing this .ie. having a method to clean up your objects that you have created during the test setup phase (not during the test, but during the setup)

Another way you could do it is via a yield. This will return your serial object and then allow you to do a teardown afterwards.:

Try something like this:

@pytest.fixture(scope="session")
def init_setup(request):
    # Create my serial object here
    yield myserialobject
    myserialobject.destroy()
