Depending on how "permanently" you mean, about your only solutions would be
"os.system('setx <...>')" or manually manipulating the registry with the
_winreg module.

Hope this helps,

Or dont do it from python but directly with regedit??

The question really is: Why do you wish to do this from within python?

I have to set several variables so it would be easier if I could set them
from Python.

You can write a Python-script that generates a .bat file (in your %TEMP-dir?).
And run this .bat file when Python ends. Put it all in an alias or another .bat
file. E.g. untested:
 alias set_env=python <your-script> -o %TEMP%\set_env.bat & %TEMP%\set_env.bat

--gv

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
