I think I can best explain what I want by showing two bash sessions: Session 1) ----------
$ /opt/csw/bin/python Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Sep 9 2015, 15:05:38) [C] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import cx_Oracle Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named cx_Oracle >>> ^D =================================== Session 2) ---------- $ ORACLE_OWNER=... $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=... $ ORACLE_SID=... $ TNS_ADMIN=... $ LD_RUN_PATH=... $ ORA_NLS33=... $ export export LDFLAGS ORACLE_OWNER LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORACLE_SID TNS_ADMIN LD_RUN_PATH ORA_NLS33 $ /opt/csw/bin/python Python 2.6.7 (r267:88850, Feb 10 2012, 01:39:24) [C] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import cx_Oracle >>> ======================================================== As you can see the import works in the second session because I had done the needed assignments and exports in bash. Now I was wondering, if I could do those kind of preparations in python. I would like to start python from an unprepared bash, and do the necessary stuff to make the import work. I already tried changing os.environ and using os.putenv, but that didn't seem to work. -- Antoon Pardon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
