execute

clean_envs_for_ayon_process(env=None)

Modify environments that may affect ayon-launcher process.

Main reason to implement this function is to pop PYTHONPATH which may be affected by in-host environments.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
env Optional[dict[str, str]]

Environment variables to modify.

None

Returns:

Type Description

dict[str, str]: Environment variables for ayon process.
