Ah, too bad.  So let's send that option via environment variables.  I'll
make a new patch when I get the chance.

This patch is a quite important fix and shouldn't be left to a
customization.  Without it, you need to trust the .py files in the
current directory.  Moreover any name clashes with the built-in library
module names can crash the commands (just happened to me).
