Yes, that's it exactly.    :-)

I administrate the workstations in our engineering environment and some of
the major pieces of software we use are configured via the Windows system
environment variables.  Being able to reach out to a PC and check or change
those is handy, even important, in my situation.   I am trying to explore
the possibility of managing these from a system I am using in a platform
independent way and figure that I ought to be able to do this with Python.
Perhaps there are third party Python modules I need to help accomplish this?
