This bug has been noticed under windows ... not under linux. C:\Users\kieffer.ESRF\workspace\tests>python Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> a="${NonExistingKey}" >>> import os >>> os.path.expandvars(a) '${NonExistingKey}' >>> C:\Users\kieffer.ESRF\workspace\tests>jython Jython 2.5.2rc2 (Release_2_5_2rc2:7167, Oct 24 2010, 22:48:30) [Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (Sun Microsystems Inc.)] on java1.6.0_22 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> a="${NonExistingKey}" >>> import os >>> os.path.expandvars(a) ''

Jython 2.5 targets CPython 2.5 compatibility. You're comparing the behavior of Python 2.6 (which improved this functionality), so this isn't a bug
