Hello, I have written a script that uses environment variables set during a particular users login in ".bash_profile" and ".profile".
I have changed to that users uid and gid in my python script using: import os os.setegid os.setgid os.seteuid os.setuid but I still am not picking up the needed environment. When I run: os.environ I can see that I still have the environment of the user that owns the python script. I would like to maintain the original script owner but somehow pick up the correct environment for the targeted user. Several options looked to create an environment in a sub-process which I don't think is the correct solution. I could of course cut and paste the values from ".bash_profile" & ".profile" but figured there is probably a better, cleaner way to do the same. Searched this forum with no luck and checked several python references. What is the best practice to achieve this goal?
