That's actually a good idea.

I just have large number of test modules with 1-3 dozens of parameters,
so I'd prefer to have them in a config file.

On the other hand, config file or environment variables, both options
are similar. The setUpModule could simply read parameters and set
them as env variables accessible with os.getenv from TestCase.setUp.
