Description
Summary
Node and Ruby agents provide an ENV that is a regex for indicating which transactions should be ignored. This is requesting that the same be done for the Python agent because the current method requires controlling that in code which is a pain and inflexible.
Desired Behavior
Ability to specify a regex to ignore transactions
Possible Solution
Regex like the Node and Ruby agents support

Research direction
Start by comparing how the Node and Ruby agents expose transaction-ignore regex settings, then review the Python agent's documented ignoretransaction method and configuration path. Define the environment variable's regex behavior and verify that matching transactions are ignored without requiring application code changes.
