We are running jobs on an instance of Jenkins and we want to make the command line argument --tb=short be the default for all of our jobs. We can do this, without editing each individual job, but setting a global environment variable instead, but py would need to be able to use that environment variable to configure the value.

Is this an enhancement that would be considered and/or welcome as a patch?
