convert a json dictionary into environment variables
#!/usr/bin/env python
# jsonenv reads a json object as input and produces
# escaped shell commands for setting environment vars
import json
import pipes
import sys
for k, v in json.load(sys.stdin).items():
k = pipes.quote(k)
v = pipes.quote(v)
print "%s=%s export %s;" % (k, v, k)

for k, v in json.load(open('local.settings.json')).items():
    os.environ[k] = v
