>From an interactive python shell, I execute the following:
import os
for line in os.popen('alias').readlines():
print line
No aliases are printed.
I started python from an bash environment that had many aliases
defined. I expected to see the list of aliases from within the
interactive python shell. What could I do to see those aliases defined
in the shell from where I started python?
Thanks:

You can't, really. The 'alias' command is a shell built-in, not an external
command, so you can't meaningfully run it from a Python script (and any
aliases defined in your shell will probably not be available to Python).
Matters are complicated a little bit because when you use os.popen(),
your command line is actually passed to *a* shell, usually /bin/sh, so
the final command line looks like this:
/bin/sh -c 'alias'
However, even if /bin/sh is actually bash, dotfiles such as .profile and
..bashrc aren't read when using the '-c' option.
If you really want to do something to your bash aliases with python, you
could pipe them into a python command:
$ alias | python myscript.py

Since bash does not export aliases, they cannot be seen by a child
process.
What could I do to see those aliases defined in the shell from where I started python?
Store them in a file before calling python, and read that file.

Store them in a file before calling python, and read that file.
Or redefine them as functions and use:
import os
for line in os.popen('typeset -f').readlines():
print line
