I'm concerned by the NameError, not in keeping with the fact that there 
does seem to be a global (module level) variable of the right name.

The NameError suggests that this won't work. Maybe you're module install 
is an old version? Anyway, try it.

There's no need to hack your .profile; you can do things like this at 
the command prompt for experiments:

    export RPDBTERM=$TERM

then run the programme. BTW, that is statement looks like it is 
explicitly trying to handle lack of the envvar.
