Huh... this is surprising to me. Because I actually looked it up in the manual and vaguely remember that there stood that os.environ is just a copy of the environment variables at interpreter start and not authorative and (more importantly) that assigning to that dict would/could somehow lead to memory leaks. I am extremely certain that I found that passage, but can't find it right now anymore (probably staring right at it and can't find it still) :-/ Anyways, I'll give it a shot, thank you!
