[mod_python] How to define an environment variable for other python module to use?

generally when we do this with php, we define the ENV variables in the
apache startup script, so that they get into every child process.  then
they are readable with the normal environment functions.

we don't normally change where the oracle_sid is, so we have no need to
set them.
