As Chris has said, the os module is the way to get and modify the 
environment of your Python program, whether on Linux or elsewhere.

However, the wording of your question was ambiguous enough that I 
thought I'd better clarify.  Changing the environment within one 
application does not in general affect any other.  So if you had 
thoughts of setting an environment variable from your python script, and 
exiting, and having the next thing you ran from the shell affected, 
better think again.

That sort of thing needs to be done from the shell, rather than from a 
script.  And while there are tricks to do, they're Linux-- (or Windows, 
or whatever) tricks, not Python ones.
