Hello folks, i am working with Python-2.5.2, fedora 9 sulphur
I wanna change the value of environment variable , so if i open bash and
type
envvariable=value;export variable then this sets the envvariable equal to
the value.Now i am writing a python script to set the value of this
environment variable.
import optparse
import os
def new_callback(option, opt_str, value, parser):
os.putenv("envvariable",value)
if __name__ == '__main__':
p = optparse.OptionParser()
p.add_option('-H',action="callback",callback=new_callback,type
="string")
options, remainder = p.parse_args()
when i run the script python prog.h -H value
now this dosen't change the value of the variable which was set earlier
.Please help me in fixing this issue.
Thanks in advance
Aditya
