Ok, but I'm not so sure those things are related... Whatever
version of Python you use, you are just reading the environment
variables provided by the operating system. The operating
system won't make different environment variables available
to a process depending on what version of Python you use.

If a change in the python installation caused a difference here,
it's a difference in how Python scripts are executed, not simply
a version change. Are you running the Python scripts as CGI scripts?
What else changed? OS? Web server? Configuration?

Try printing out all the os.environ items from a CGI script.
I think I showed an example of how to do this here a week
or two ago...
