I don't use tcsh, so there may be some subtleties I don't get, but it's going to look something like this: ----------------changefoo.py print 'setenv foo bar' ----------------end of changefoo.py Then the shell session would look like this: % `python changefoo.py` % echo $foo bar or you may need to "eval" the output: % eval `python changefoo.py` $ echo $foo bar or you could it like this: ----------------changefoo.py: print 'foo bar' ----------------end of changefoo.py Then the shell session would look like this: % setenv `python changefoo.py` % echo $foo bar But we're veering dangerously off topic for c.l.python.
