Difference between os.getenv and os.environ.get

One difference (observed in Python 2.7 and 3.8) between getenv() and environ[]:

  • os.getenv() does not raise an exception, but returns None
  • os.environ.get() similarly returns None
  • os.environ[] raises an exception if the environmental variable does not exist
