i think the keyword plugin is enabled by default.  When i run

    runtesthelper.pytest(['--traceconfig', ...])

the keyword plugin should be in the "active plugins" section.

If you need to add plugins setting os.environ should be
enough.  the startup of py.test (even through the
runtesthelper script) takes care to load plugins. 
but again, i think there is no need to load the 'keyword'
plugin in particular.

plugin methods can get access to the config object.
