This turns out to be easy:

The docs for _winreg.OpenKey say:

key = OpenKey(key, sub_key, res = 0, sam = KEY_READ) - Opens the 
specified key.


Note that you are passing "KEY_SET_VALUE" as "res", and leaving "sam" 
the default of KEY_READ.

Changing the code to:

hEnvironment = _winreg.OpenKey( h, "Environment",
                                0, _winreg.KEY_SET_VALUE)

Makes it work.
