## Read env vars in Python { #read-env-vars-in-python }

You could also create environment variables **outside** of Python, in the terminal (or with any other method), and then **read them in Python**.

For example you could have a file `main.py` with:

```Python hl_lines="3"
import os

    ByteSource source = out.asByteSource();

    out.write(data);
    assertThat(source.read()).isEqualTo(data);

    out.reset();
    assertThat(source.read()).isEmpty();

    out.write(data);
    assertThat(source.read()).isEqualTo(data);

    out.close();
  }

  private static boolean isAndroid() {

    ByteSource source = out.asByteSource();

    out.write(data);
    assertThat(source.read()).isEqualTo(data);

    out.reset();
    assertThat(source.read()).isEmpty();

    out.write(data);
    assertThat(source.read()).isEqualTo(data);

    out.close();
  }

  private static boolean isAndroid() {

    assertTrue(source.wasStreamOpened());
    assertFalse(source.wasStreamClosed());

    StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    char[] buf = new char[64];
    int read;
    while ((read = reader.read(buf)) != -1) {
      writer.write(buf, 0, read);
    }
    reader.close();
    writer.close();

    assertTrue(source.wasStreamClosed());
    assertEquals(STRING, writer.toString());
  }

		t.Errorf("r.Len(): got %d, want %d", got, want)
	}
	if n, err := r.Read(make([]byte, 10)); err != nil || n != 10 {
		t.Errorf("Read failed: read %d %v", n, err)
	}
	if got, want := r.Len(), 1; got != want {
		t.Errorf("r.Len(): got %d, want %d", got, want)
	}
	if n, err := r.Read(make([]byte, 1)); err != nil || n != 1 {
		t.Errorf("Read failed: read %d %v; want 1, nil", n, err)
	}
	if got, want := r.Len(), 0; got != want {

    assertEquals(expected.charAt(0), joinedReader.read());
    CharStreams.skipFully(joinedReader, 1);
    assertEquals(expected.charAt(2), joinedReader.read());
    CharStreams.skipFully(joinedReader, 4);
    assertEquals(expected.charAt(7), joinedReader.read());

    assertEquals(-1, joinedReader.read());

	writeTests[1].Data = largeData
