pylint does not suppress all false positives

[tslever]

Describe the bug
Modules test_cleaner.py, test_tokenizer.py, test_word_counter.py, and test_system.py all import fixture temporary_directory_of_files_with_texts. This fixture calls fixture temporary_directory. Using fixture temporary_directory_of_files_with_texts requires importing both fixtures.

To Reproduce
Package versions

• pylint: 3.2.3
• pytest: 8.2.0
• pylint-pytest: 1.1.8

(add any relevant pylint/pytest plugin here)

Expected behavior
I expected these pylint false positives to be suppressed.

I would appreciate if you gave me some (scrubbed) example code, as it can help with https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint-pytest/tree/master/tests/input/unused-import

@stdedos , I have added example code.
