Kent,
Good idea except that the environment that needs to be set depends on the answers to some of the input that I get in the Python program. Nothing is ever easy here.
Maybe you could write a Python program that asks the questions, then spawns a shell task which sets the correct environment and runs another Python program that does the rest of the work?
Or, a ksh wrapper that sources the right program then outputs its environment to a .py file that you can import to get the config?
Just don't give me credit for the idea, I don't want to have anything to do with it :-)

All,
I have program and init I want to "source" a .ksh file to set some environment variables and then use those variables in my program.
Is this possible? I vaguely remember something about the system env and
the
interpreters env being separate after the interpreter starts up.
What about making a shell file that sources your ksh file, then starts python?
