How To Set An Environment Variable When Using Gcloud ML Engine?

I don't believe the Cloud ML Engine API provides a mechanism to set environment variables. However, you might be able to workaround this by writing a wrapper script (NB: UNTESTED CODE):

subprocess.check_call(['python', 'main.py'], env=env)
