I don't think that's possible. We start glance's services (when under test) with debug=True and verbose=True which means the config options that are collected and then parsed should be logged to the file, at least.

Thanks for the help though, Tomislav! Did you look for the hash seed that tox was using and try running the tests that way? I've been swamped with other responsibilities this week so I haven't had time to investigate this myself.
