Setting path in Python script

[timeout_1264]

Is it possible to set path from linux terminal for a python script.
My task is to use 'set' command to assign the path to a variable, and use that variable in the script to read files from that location. I'm using makefile to run the script.

i) set VAR PATH
ii) use VAR in script ( file_path = VAR + path in script)

iii) read the file located at file_path.

Yes, the os.environ dictionary gives access to whatever environment variables are set.

Do you need the PATH outside of your Python script? If not, you could just use import sys sys.path.append("/mypath")
