Are you sure you imported the os module?

  >>> import os
  >>> print os.environ['HOME']
  /home/jeffp

Works fine for me.  What OS are you on?

You can also check what python sees as your environment by doing:

  >>> import os
  >>> for n in os.environ.keys():
  ...   print n + "=" + os.environ[n]
