multiple threads & environment

[Constantinos A. Kotsokalis]

Hello ppl,
  a (simple?) question: If I have a python program with multiple threads
  of execution, does each one of them start with their own os.environ
  dictionary? What I want to do is to have an environment variable
  different for each thread. I am using the Threading module, if that
  is any further help, and add/change the environment variable in the
  function that the thread executes (i.e. not passing it as an
  argument).

  Thank you!
    Costas
