Not it's not.  There is nothing in the operating system that defines this.

Not there's nothing in the operating system that specifies this.  This
is a convention that makes sense only to the apache daemon itself.  If
your python script is running as a CGI script, then apache will set
environment variables that you can read with the os module.  See the
Apache docs for information on this.
