Kent, Like you allude ...a bit too much "what the heck is that" going on. I will give a few other things a try...I may just have to have the program run and get the info then stop and have the user source the correct .ksh then run another py program. (basically the same thing but manually).

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 :-) Kent > -----Original Message----- > From: Kent Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 13:20 > Cc: tutor@python.org > Subject: Re: [Tutor] trouble setting the environment > > Ertl, John wrote: > >>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?
