Strange (see below) where is the variable defined on your machine?


Here's what I get.

Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr  9 2002, 19:34:33) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> os.environ['WINOS']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "d:\devtools\python22\lib\os.py", line 387, in __getitem__
    return self.data[key.upper()]
KeyError: WINOS
>>>
