+Resource Warnings
+-----------------
+
+Additional information of the source of a :class:`ResourceWarning` can be obtained when captured by pytest if
+:mod:`tracemalloc` module is enabled.
+
+One convenient way to enable :mod:`tracemalloc` when running tests is to set the :envvar:`PYTHONTRACEMALLOC` to a large
+enough number of frames (say ``20``, but that number is application dependent).
+
+For more information, consult the `Python Development Mode <https://docs.python.org/3/library/devmode.html>`__
+section in the Python documentation.
