I'm using Tesseract OCR and everytime I run a new session it asks for setting the TESSDATA_PREFIX variable,
I do so by running the command export TESSDATA_PREFIX="PATH_TO_FILES"
How can I do it inside the python script i'm running ?
Thanks !
You can do:
import os
os.putenv("TESSDATA_PREFIX", "PATH_TO_FILES")
More info
http://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html#os.putenv
Please try adding to your python:
import os
os.environ["TESSDATA_PREFIX"] = "PATH_TO_FILES"
You could try using os module to set environment variable:
setting:
os.environ['TESSDATA_PREFIX'] = "PATH_TO_FILES"
getting:
pat_to_files = os.environ['TESSDATA_PREFIX']
Such variable will be accessible from the python code but it may not remain accessible for other programs when your python code quits.
If your goal is to set env variable for other program then you could try this recipe:

I've created Windows system variable using below code:
import os
os.environ['BJT'] = 'HELLO'
But I can't see it in Advanced settings \ system variables Also I can't see it when I try to print it:
import os
print(os.environ['BJT'])
I thought that when I create system variable using os.environ it is created exacly like when I do it in system settings. Is it possible to create system variable from python code and access it even when I restart computer?
You need to call the system (with admin privileges) to create a system variable, you can use subprocess:
import subprocess
subprocess.run(['setx', 'BJT', '"HELLO"', '/M'])
Prior to python3.5 you will need to use process.call instead
There is a misunderstanding with what environment is. It is just a mapping of (string) variables that a process can pass to its children. Specifically a process can change its own environment (which will be used by its future children) but this will not change its parent's environment, nor even the environment of its already existing children if any.
In addition, Windows provides system and user environment variables which are used as the initial environment of any process. This are not changet by os.environ nor by putenv but only from the Windows API or the shell command setx.
Inside of my scons script I execute another python script:
fs = env.Command('fs', None, 'python updatefs.py')
AlwaysBuild(fs)
Depends(fs, main)
In python script I am trying to access an environment variable:
import os
mode = os.environ['PROC_MODE']
The variable was previously set up in the shell:
export PROC_MODE='some_mode'
Python complain:
KeyError: 'PROC_MODE'
What is the proper way to propagate environment to an external script?
This is covered in lightly in the FAQ:
FAQ
Basically SCons constructs a clean reproducible set of environment variables so that differences in any user's environment won't break a build.
So if you want to propagate a particular variable from your shell you can explicitly do it as such:
env['ENV']['MY_VARIABLE']=os.environ['MY_VARIABLE']
If you wanted to progagate all environment variables you'd do this:
env['ENV'] = os.environ
Where env is your Environment()
trying to install spark, I've some problems when I try to set the system enviroment variables. I modify the PATH using:
“Advanced system settings” → “Environment Variables”
but when I call these variables from python, using the code:
import os
path = os.environ.get('PATH', None)
print(path)
The path that shows python don't have the modifications that I put. Thanks
Any program invoked from the command prompt will be given the environment variables that was at the time the command prompt was invoked.
Therefore, when you modify or add an environment variable you should restart the command prompt (cmd.exe) and then invoke python to see the changes.
I've wrote a script to create a job in jenkins, next in that script I want to get environment variables and set them.
So I want to use "envInject" plugin in my script, but I don't know how can I call or bring it to my python script?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
In Python env variables can be accessed through os.environ
import os
print os.environ['BUILD_NUMBER']
see your jenkins_site/jenkins/env-vars.html for more info on build vars available
I have an environment variable called %CCDeviceID%. When I run a command using python in Command Prompt, I want to be able to use this variable, and including %CCDeviceID% in the script doesn't work. How can I implement environment variables into my python script?
Thanks
Ed
Use os.environ:
import os
print os.environ['CCDeviceID']
You can get a listing of all environment variables available to you simply by doing the following:
>>> import os
>>> print os.environ
os.environ is a dictionary mapping env variable name to its value
In your case, you probably need to omit the % symbols. To get CCDeviceID.
