Ah, I see ‘os’ has been hijacked by PV. But something like this seems to accomplish what I want, maybe…
Create a new module for PV: /Applications/ParaView-5.4.1.app/Contents/Python$ more envs.py import os os.environ['PHYSICELL_DATA']=‘/fill_in_path’ and then in the PV Python shell, the os.environ will indeed contain this new env var. > On Dec 20, 2017, at 4:30 PM, Heiland, Randy <heil...@iu.edu> wrote: > > I noticed the Python shell has a very limited os.environ, e.g.: >>>> os.environ > {'SHELL': '/bin/bash', 'SSH_AUTH_SOCK': > '/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.y86uYmHWFV/Listeners', 'XPC_FLAGS': '0x0', > '__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING': '0x1F5:0x0:0x0', 'Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render': > '/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.CM4C6EMoE6/Render', 'LOGNAME': 'heiland', > 'USER': 'heiland', 'XPC_SERVICE_NAME': 'org.paraview.ParaView.33336', 'PATH': > '/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin', 'HOME': '/Users/heiland', 'DISPLAY': > '/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.4ORv1l0yeN/org.macosforge.xquartz:0', > 'TMPDIR': '/var/folders/l6/s467rzgs75n91gdbkn7vr0f40000gn/T/'} >>>> > > I’m guessing this is a security measure?
