g.gisenv just outputs to stdout. There's no G_message() or G_percent()
or anything that would use --quiet. Just treat g.gisenv like it were
"ls" and send the output to a buffer or a temp file.

for example:

>>> import os
>>> prog = os.popen("g.gisenv")
>>> print prog.read()
LOCATION_NAME='spearfish60';
MAPSET='user1';
DIGITIZER='none';
GISDBASE='/home/hamish/grassdata';
DEBUG='0';
MONITOR='x0';
GRASS_GUI='text';


# for shell vars (replace grep filter with python version)
>>> import os
>>> prog = os.popen("set | grep '^GIS\|^GRASS_'")
>>> print prog.read()


nothing more to do here AFAICS....
