equivalent of source <file> in python?

[Astan Chee]

Thanks for all the help. I think Chris's answer is the one I can use. I 
know its probably better to convert the /etc/setup file into python but 
it'll do for now.
Also, the entire tsch script is just setting up env vars and such; 
various mvs and cps. Not really executing anything.
Thanks again for the help.
