I want to run setenv command through python script, the linux command is as below

setenv MODEL path/to/the/model

I tried using os.environ(), but I couldn't get the right syntax.

note - I'm using python 2.7

    By setenv, I suppose you're referring to the csh builtin. It's specific to csh and family. Commented Mar 9, 2020 at 16:15
  • Anything you run in a shell you start from Python only works until that shell exits; it won't change the environment of the Python interpreter, or the shell that started the Python interpreter. Commented Mar 9, 2020 at 16:33
  • @WilliamPursell, that's true, but even changing to use POSIX sh syntax, the command in question would still not have the desired effect. Commented Mar 9, 2020 at 16:35

os.environ isn't a function. Check out the docs: https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html#os.environ
