I'll repeat the reply here. This misses the point. I DID define the variable inside the Python code, and the process that I launched from Python (using os.system) DID inherit that variable. That's the best you can do: you can change the environment for the processes you start, but you cannot change the environment of the process that started you. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
