import pytest

def test_something_that_should_throw_exception():
    with pytest.raises(Exception) as e_info:
        my_method()

If the tested code raises a more specific exception, you can use that instead:

def test_something_that_should_throw_exception():
    with pytest.raises(ValueException) as e_info:
        my_method()
