[Zoo-discuss] Python service doesn't see Environment variable

[Fenoy Gerald]

Dear Steve,
for defining environment variables prior to run your service you should use a specific section in your main.cfg file. This section should be named [env] then you can define any key value pair, so for defining tmpdir as an environment variable you simply have to add the following to your main.cfg:

[env]
TMPDIR=/your/tmp/dir

Obviously you should replace « /your/tmp/dir » by a real path.

Please also note that there is already a default tmpdir variable but it is not defined as an environment variable but can be accessed easilly from any service. It is located in the [main] section and is named tmpDir. So to access it from your service code you may use something like : conf["main"]["tmpDir"] .

I hope this helps,
Best regards,
