Oh sorry, I mean that I prefer to *not* add an environment variable, but I'm not strongly against it.
How would the environment varaible be used? A command line option is not enough?
An environment variable is an easy to influence a program or system whose inner workings you don't control (for example a system that spawns child Python processes). And it sounds like a good idea to allow that given that it improves security? Regards Antoine.
