I thought you might ask that. :-)
It looks like os.py module imports a 'envirion' dictionary from various
sources depending on the platform.
posix, nt, os2 <---> posixmodule.c
mac, ce, riscos <---> ?, ?, ?
Then os.py uses it to initialize the os._Environ user dict. I can
contribute a patch for os.py to covert the items at that point, but if
someone imports the platform modules directly they will get surprises.
Patching posixmodule.c and the other platform files where ever they live
may still be a bit beyond me at this time.
I'm still learning my way around pythons C code. :-)
Cheers,
Ron
