> Hello there,

Ummm.... I hate to say this, but the short answer is no.
The problem here is that there are alternatives to adding this functionality,
namely a shell script wrapper.
#!/bin/sh
PYTHONPATH=/....
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/....
exec /what_you_want xxx "$@"
If you don't like shell scripts, may I recommend:
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( int argc, char **argv ){
setenv("PYTHONPATH","/...")
setenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH","/...")
execv("/bin/python", argv );
return(0);
}
Sorry about that...
