Is Gabbi + pytest a plugin? If so, you could store the config object during
pytest_configure to reuse later:

```
_gabbi_pytest_config = None

def pytest_configure(config):
    global _gabbi_pytest_config
    _gabbi_pytest_config = config

def pytest_unconfigure():
    global _gabbi_pytest_config
    _gabbi_pytest_config = None
```

This is basically what pytest did to provide the pytest.config global. This
is more elegant if you can register this in a class of course.

If you don't have a proper plugin, it is easy to write a small one even if
only to get that global.

It should definitely be possible, with minimal effort. Let us know if we
can help further.
