Using disable_socket (in confest) then overriding allow_hosts in a specific test

[ian-tvt]

Hi there,

We are trying to disable socks globally via the following snippet in our conftest file:

from pytest_socket import disable_socket

def pytest_runtest_setup():
    disable_socket()

This works as expected.

Now we are trying to allow a specific test to allow sockets via the @pytest.mark.allow_hosts decorator. What we're noticing is that even if we allow specific hostnames (and we can see them in the allowed list stepping through the code), since socket.socket was already set as GuardedSocket, we get SocketBlockedError raised.

Is a way for us to accomplish this by disabling sockets globally, then allowing certain tests to bypass via allow_hosts decorator?

Thank you!

The intended usage is to pass the --disable-socket to disable all globally, and then use fixtures or decorators selectively to enable.
