Hi Robert, I understood the problem from your very first report. I
brought up putenv() not updating os.environ only because you mentioned
in the original report that it does. All you need is a way to get the
current value of an environment variable. The situation is a bit
complicated since a cache is in the picture (os.environ). I would
suggest that you bring up the topic for discussion on python-dev and
once a consensus is reached, some one can come up with a patch (I can
try).
