In the same way as you are doing as a command line argument:
Code:
def getEnvVarValue(envVar):
    tmpVal = os.getenv(envVar)
    if not tmpVal:
        print("Environment variable: [%s] not set." % (envVar))
        sys.exit(1)
        
    retValue = tmpVal.strip("'") 
    return retValue


Bin=getEnvVarValue('BIN')
mpdCmd="%s/%s/mpd" % (MPI_ROOTDIR, Bin)
mpdtraceCmd="%s/%s/mpdtrace" % (MPI_ROOTDIR, Bin)
mpdtraceCmd2="%s/%s/mpdtrace -l" % (MPI_ROOTDIR, Bin)

I hope it helps!

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
