Function Summary
	`getEnv(variable)` Calls globus_libc_getenv, this is useful if you are using win32, otherwise you can use the os module to access your environment
	`getHostname()` Return the local hostname.
	`setEnv(variable, value)` Calls globus_libc_setenv, this is useful if you are using win32, otherwise you can use the os module to modify your environment
	`unSetEnv(variable)` Calls globus_libc_unsetenv, this is useful if you are using win32, otherwise you can use the os module to modify your environment
