STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:

I checked the doc: _putenv("VAR=") removes the environment variable "VAR". It's 
well documented:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/putenv-wputenv?view=vs-2019

"You can remove a variable from the environment by specifying an empty 
value_string, or in other words, by specifying only varname=."

So Python 3.8 os._unsetenv() is correct, but this function was not exposed, and 
so this issue remains relevant: Python 3.8 documents that os.unsetenv() is 
available on Windows, but it's not.
