I'm working on a Python script that relies on the output from certain KAPPA commands (eg. STATS, FITSLIST) for part of its functionality.  I prefer doing it this way versus in a tcsh script because of the relative ease of use of Python.  The trouble is, when I attempt to run my Python code from within a tcsh environment primed with KAPPA, it doesn't seem to have access to the KAPPA command from the calling parent shell's environment.  Is there a way to enable this?  Or do I have to invoke KAPPA within the Python environment?

Thanks for your suggestions,

Matt
