I think we have those choices:
1. to leave as is
    + we are stay consisten with current code
     -  command line sometimes is realy big
2. to setup global configuration class. 
    +  only one place to configure pyste
3. in every exporter we can define class variables that will control exporting
    +  it is easy to see what configurations actualy do
     - difficult to use for user
4. combining 2 + 3: to define configuration variables in evry exporter
 and linking to this variables from single configuration class
