<title>Environment Variables</title>

Some of the environment variables that are accepted by the Python
interpreter can also be used to affect PL/Python behavior. They
would need to be set in the environment of the main PostgreSQL
server process, for example in a start script. The available
environment variables depend on the version of Python; see the
Python documentation for details. At the time of this writing, the
following environment variables have an affect on PL/Python,
assuming an adequate Python version:

(It appears to be a Python implementation detail beyond the control
of PL/Python that some of the environment variables listed on
the <command>python</command> man page are only effective in a
command-line interpreter and not an embedded Python interpreter.)
