Setting environment variables

I tend to establish environment variables using an install program like
Inno Setup, then access them from within my Python script.  This worked
for me under Win2000, but I haven't tried it with XP.

HTH,

Mark

Subject: Setting environment variables

Hello,

Is there any other way to set variables than os.putenv().

Putenv doesn't actually put any values to actual system variables..

I'm trying to set CVSEDITOR variable automatically from script
so that user wouldn't have to set that him/herself. CVS can't use
variable
set with putenv().


Thanks in advance.
