I'm still confused as to what you're actually trying to do!
1) Do you want a list of all environment variables that are set? If so and your
target system is Unix-like, then there is the command `printenv` that you could
call via os.execute("printenv").
or
2) Do you want process a string containing a file path where some of the
components might be environment variables and you want to expand them the way
the shell would?
If so then there is a Posix function `wordexp` (man 3 wordexp) which does that.
You'll need to wrap it in a C API call.
