try in someScript.py

os.environ['PATH'] = "/some/thing/bin:"+ os.environ['PATH']

example:

import subprocess
import os
p = subprocess.Popen('/bin/echo $TEST', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE )
p.communicate()[0]
 > '\n'

os.environ['TEST'] = 'hello'
p = subprocess.Popen('/bin/echo $TEST', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE )
p.communicate()[0]
 > 'hello\n'
