Thank you for the feedback. A crontab line of * * * * * . /path/to/export_file && /path/to/script.py does indeed work, but for various reasons this approach will not always be available to me. Let me restate my question. I have a file that looks like this: export VAR1=foo export VAR2=bar # Comment export VAR3=${VAR1}${VAR2} I want this: my_dict = {'VAR1': 'foo', 'VAR2': 'bar', 'VAR3': 'foobar'} I can roll my own, but I'm thinking there is a module or existing code that does this. I looked at the os and sys and configparse modules but did not see it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
