If I call os.environ.clea r in a python program child processes still
see the deleted entries. But when I iterate over the keys like so
names = os.environ.keys
for k in names:
del os.environ[k]
then the entries are also deleted for the child processes. Where is
the difference? Is this a bug?

This is because of how os.environ is implement with a UserDict
subclass. You should report this at bugs.python.org .

Why? I mean, I can see that it happens, but I don't understand why being a
UserDict causes this.

For one thing, the expression 'os.environ.key s' will yield a method
object (not a list, as you're probably expecting), but iterating over
a method as you did should produce an exception. If you want to get
the list of environment vars, you have to call the method, like
'os.environ.key s()'.
Also, aren't changes to environment vars supposed to be visible to
child processes anyway? Which one are you suggesting that behaves the
wrong way, 'os.environ.cle ar()' or 'del os.environ[key]'?

You are right but it's just a typo in this message, sorry. My real
code is correct.

Yes. Both the clear method and the del method change os.environ.
os.environ IS the environment in a python program.

wrong way, 'os.environ.cle ar()' or 'del os.environ[key]'?
The former. If a key is not in os.environ, it shouldn't exist for
child
processes.

According to Benjamin Peterson this has been fixed in the upcoming
Python 2.6.

The contents of a UserDict is stored in UserDict.data. When
UserDict.clear is called, that contents is simply cleared. environ
needs to override this is to unset env variable and then update the
actual dict.

I am trying to set a new environment variable on a W2k machine with
only partial success. The name("SSID") and value("ASIM") show up
correctly in the registry and when I go to "System

console and type 'set', "SSID" is not listed; also if I open a python

doing wrong???

Windows doesn't have a HOME environment variable, but it does have
HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH. Could Windows versions of Python automatically
populate os.environ with HOME, where HOME =
os.path.join(os.environ, os.environ)?
If this was done, then modules such as pdb, which load resource files
from HOME, would work under Windows.
Alternatively, here is a patch to make pdb.py read .pdbrc under
Windows.
