erykson's example works perfectly.
I have a script as follows
#!/bin/python
#
import os
cmd = os.environ.get('XRIT_DECOMPRESS_PATH')
print cmd
resulting in 'None'
and if I substitute this line
cmd = os.environ.get('PATH')
resulting in '/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.8.4:/usr/include/KDE'
however from the bash prompt
$ echo $XRIT_DECOMPRESS_PATH
results in '/usr/local/bin/xRITDecompress' so the environment variable is there and available in bash, but not in Python.
I find this very strange
