You could do it with pyext:


import os

class env(pyext._class):
    
    _inlets = 1
    _outlets = 1
    
    def bang_1(self):
        for k,v in os.environ.items():
            self._outlet(1,(k,v))

    def get_1(self, k):
        v = os.environ.get(str(k))
        if v:
            self._outlet(1,(k,v))
        else:
            print "No such environment var: %s " % k

Try "get PWD" on Unix.

Ciao
