python使用环境变量,使用Python添加环境变量

I'm trying to add an environment variable to my windows machine using python and the code is something like:

import os

os.environ["TONY"] = "C:\\"

or

import os

os.putenv["TONY", "C:\\"]

But I dont see the entry in the system environment variables. Is the because the list of variables when you type 'set' in cmd is read from the machines registry?

Is there a way to add a variable on windows so it shows up in system variables?

Short answer: Python cannot edit environment variables in a way that sticks. BUT, if all you want to do is run something in a temporarily modified environment, you can do that with the subprocess module:

import os

from subprocess import Popen

myEnv = dict(os.environ)

myEnv['newKey'] = 'newVal'

shellCmd = Popen(['sh', 'someScript.sh'], env=myEnv)

(shellOut, shellErr) = shellCmd.communicate()
