Martin Panter added the comment: I suspect the $PATH example is a bad example. On my Linux setup, my initial PATH value is a customized path. After popping it and calling system(), I see a simpler default path, which is probably re-initialized somewhere else.
I suspect there is no environ.pop() bug. Everthing works according the documentation if you use another environment variable: $ TEST_VARIABLE=value python Python 3.4.0 (default, Mar 17 2014, 23:20:09) [GCC 4.8.2 20140206 (prerelease)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import os >>> os.system('echo "$TEST_VARIABLE"') value 0 >>> os.environ.pop("TEST_VARIABLE") 'value' >>> os.system('echo "$TEST_VARIABLE"') 0 The other point in this report, about synchronizing “os.environ” with the C APIs, is a duplicate of Issue 1159. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4887> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
