I suspect rather that the OP is looking for os.environ, as in:

[sholden at headrat sholden]$ ENVAR=value
[sholden at headrat sholden]$ export ENVAR
[sholden at headrat sholden]$ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30)
[GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import os
 >>> os.environ["ENVAR"]
'value'
