GitHub repository

Installation

pip install python

Usage

Create a new environment parser from shell context.

from environment import Environment, SHELL
env = Environment(sources=[SHELL])

You can also create a new environment parser from variables starting with a given prefix. For example, to find all variables starting with XDG_, you could use the code below...

xdgenv = env.extract_child_from_prefix('XDG_', remove_prefix=True)
print(xdgenv)

... and this will output something like the following :

CONFIG_DIRS                   /etc/xdg/xdg-budgie-desktop:/etc/xdg
SESSION_PATH                  /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session0
MENU_PREFIX                   gnome-              
SESSION_DESKTOP               budgie-desktop      
SESSION_TYPE                  x11                 
GREETER_DATA_DIR              /var/lib/lightdm-data/sylvan
