I have a number of variables (environmental variables, actually), most

I could do something like this (actually, there are more than 3 vars):
a = "c:\\programs"
b = "d:\\data"
c = None (result of an assignment after the os.environ.get() returned
a KeyError).
if (a is None) or (b is None) or (c is None):
#do something here
print 'you are missing some env vars'
But, that seemed clumsy to me, so I wanted to do something more
pythonic, hence my previous post. So, any suggestions?
How about this:
try:
mumble = os.environ['TMP']
babble = os.environ['Path']
frobotz = os.environ['NotThere']
jangle = int(os.environ['WEIGHT'])
...
except KeyError, e:
print 'Mising env var %r. Fix it and try again' % e.args
raise SystemExit
