How to pass shell variable to shell script from python

[Rockins Chen]

Clearly, I made some typing mistake, it's the shbang line! it should be:
#!/usr/bin/python

then, just set os.environ is okay:
os.environ["target"] = "localhost.localdomain.org"

according python's documentation, setting os.environ will implicitly call
os.putenv().
