We could add a new "config.setini" option, for one it would allow users to set ini values in pytest_configure, I remember needing this in more than one occasion actually. There's a discussion about this in https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3311, in there the OP wanted to do this so plugins could change ini options from other plugins (all under his control) so it was considered a little brittle, but I think the use case for changing ini variables during pytest_configure like you describe is a strong motivation for us to add this API. Ronny, what's your opinion? Cheers, Bruno.
