Shallow copy environ

os.environ is not a dict object but proxy object, so shallow copy has still effects on original object. See https://bugs.python.org/issue15373 for reference.

Noncompliant Code:

Copy
import copy
import os

envs = copy.copy(os.environ)

Compliant Code:

Copy
import os

envs = os.environ.copy()
