here is the code implementing os.environ on *ix from os.py:
class _Environ(UserDict.UserDict):
def __init__(self, environ):
UserDict.UserDict.__init__(self)
self.data = environ
def __setitem__(self, key, item):
putenv(key, item) # <--
self.data[key] = item
def update(self, dict):
for k, v in dict.items():
self[k] = v
this is from 2.0, the 1.5.2 didn't define a update() method
so it didn't work (but __setitem__ did)
os.environ gets set into a dummy empty dictionary if putenv
doesn't exist, though. but it's probably unlikely to
be missing these days...
