prequest - override ini settings?

[Jonathan Vanasco]

Does anyone know where/if it's possible to override ini settings with prequest?

Use-case:  I want to ensure the debugtoolbar is disabled for prequest, even if the .ini enables it.

I think i may just re-implement the `bin/prequest` file to do what i need, but if there is another solution i am open!

I know it's not what you asked for but for programmatic customization, I generally move pyramid includes or settings based configuration to the python code.

This way it's easier for example to customize the app initialization process with env vars.

I like to do that too.

In this case, I am trying to offer a simplified commandline tool to support a handful of operations, which is aimed at novice users of a package.  The debugtoolbar is creating some issues, so I want to turn it off.  I invoke this project a few other ways, and can disable the toolbar or adjust settings in the other contexts -- but prequest isn't friendly to this.

It looks like the only way to handle this is wrapping prequest with another script, and copying/sanitizing the .ini configuration.

That kind of thing is where I put code in my main() function
initialization to let environment variables override settings.
'APPNAME__debugtoolbar__enable=1' gets converted to
settings['debugtoolbar.enable]' = '1'. I used double underscores
because periods aren't allowed in ennvar names, some settings have
single underscores in their name,

Maybe I can do something like that. The issue is that I'm trying to guard against a novice user enabling things they shouldn't.  

Perhaps I can just catch this in main and raise an exception.
