[Paraview] Python shell, os.environ

[Heiland, Randy]

Ah, I see ‘os’ has been hijacked by PV. But something like this seems to accomplish what I want, maybe…

Create a new module for PV:

/Applications/ParaView-5.4.1.app/Contents/Python$ more envs.py
import os
os.environ['PHYSICELL_DATA']=‘/fill_in_path’

and then in the PV Python shell, the os.environ will indeed contain this new env var.
