I've got some Python scripts that rely on shell environment variables

didn't take, and I'm guessing that the shell script gets its own
environment, that when the script terminates goes away.
Is there a way to write a shell script that can export an environment
variable to the calling shell?
I know I can set environment variables in Python, but I want to keep
things modular so I can re-use the Python script and do things based
on different environment settings.
Thanks,

Create a file the contents of which are in the form ...
export ENV_VARIABLE1=value1
export ENV_VARIABLE2=value2
export ENV_VARIABLE3=value3
export ENV_VARIABLE4=value4
... "source" the file as ...
. filename
(that is dot space filename)
Hope this helps
