Interface for modifying Windows environment variables from Python

Question

How can I persistently modify the Windows environment variables from a Python script? (it\'s the setup.py script)

Answer 1

The registry way is if you want to modify it permanently for everything, which I guess is what you want here since it's in setup.py.

Temporarily for just your process, then os.environ is the trick.
