From the command line (Mac OS), when I execute 'echo $PYTHONPATH' I get:
> /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7
If I then enter the Python interpreter and do the following:
>>> import os
>>> os.environ['PYTHONPATH']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/UserDict.py", line 23, in __getitem__
raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'PYTHONPATH'
Why would this happen?
