Randy, No, `os` hasn't been hijacked by PV. Here's what I get on Linux.
./bin/pvpython Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 23 2017, 16:37:01) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import os >>> os.environ["FOO"] '12' I suspect it's something to do with App bundles on macOS and what environment variables they see based on how you launch them. I can't remember that of the top of my head, but that's where I'd start looking.
