I want to enable the definition of custom environment variables in mod_wsgi.

After a quick search in Nginx sources I have found the env directive and the ngx_set_environment function.

Unfortunately the documentation is in Russian only http://sysoev.ru/nginx/docs/ngx_core_module.html#env.

I have found some problems with this directive. - It seems that it is not possible to inherit enviroment variables from the "system"; only variables defined with env directive are added to os environment - The syntax should be env VAR|VAR=VALUE, but, as an example, env MALLOC_OPTIONS; does not put MALLOC_OPTIONS in the environment.

"env VAR" inherits VAR from initial environment.

Ok, thanks. So it is not possible to inherits all vars from initial environment.

This seems reasonable, but I'm not sure that disabling implicit inheritance of vars from initial environment is always good.

However, some variables affects before nginx will remove from or add to new environment.

This should not be a problem. I call ngx_set_environment before Py_Initialize.
