Francis Greaves added the comment: erykson's example works perfectly. I have a script as follows
#!/bin/python # import os cmd = os.environ.get('XRIT_DECOMPRESS_PATH') print cmd resulting in 'None' and if I substitute this line cmd = os.environ.get('PATH') resulting in '/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.8.4:/usr/include/KDE' however from the bash prompt $ echo $XRIT_DECOMPRESS_PATH results in '/usr/local/bin/xRITDecompress' so the environment variable is there and available in bash, but not in Python. I find this very strange ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24971> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
