Thanks for the suggestions. I was not only looking for suggestions but also fixes to the problem. As nikos suggested, I posted the request on pythonml. And as christian says, I made sure that I am doing the setting environ from the same process. Actually i need to set and retrieve the System environment variable from python code(Which is part of my Pygtk application)
