When you say it "doesn't return anything", what exactly do you mean?  Does
it return None?  Does it raise KeyError?  Something else?

In any case, I'm surprised that doesn't work.  That should be the correct
way to do it.

You could try this:

    try:
        referer = os.environ.get('HTTP_REFERER', 'UnknownRef')
    except KeyError:
        referer = None

    if not referer:
        referer = 'UnknownRef'
