In fact, yes.

The patch is in the wrong place. *If* the ZOPE_CONFIG variable should be honored, the logic would belong into App.config.getConfiguration(). 

However, I do not like the idea very much. I'd rather see testrunners load configuration files which would allow for a more finegrained control of the realized configuration.

I have a testrunner.py that supports a '-C configfile' option here:

A similar patch for test.py (of Zope 2.7) is here: 
http://zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1279

An already patched test.py is here:

I just realized that I snuck in (by accedent) a change to _setConfig that keeps ZopeOptions from parsing sys.argv if the configfile has been specified.  This is a good thing as far as scripts go and I don't _think_ it effects anything else can someone else confirm? It's line Zope/Startup/run.py:46 after patching.

I really like this. What needs to happen to get this into the next 2.7 release?

 - http://zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1233/ZOPE_CONFIG.patch/view
Allow scripts to use the same import Zope; app=Zope.app() dance that they used in 2.6. The zope config file is found using the environment var ZOPE_CONFIG.
