Hi everyone,

I tried using `hou.putenv()` to update value of some Houdini variable. I found out that `hou.putenv()` only update the value and os.environ dict for $HIP but not $JOB (on Linux, Windows, Python 2 & 3). Is there any special reason behind this?

Please refer to the screen shot for illustration.
