how to pass arguments to maya.mel.eval()

[lala]

userSetup.py file takes precedence over userSetup.mel
so, i wanted to add some paths to "MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH" via python
this example for getting variables works fine

Code:

import maya.mel as mel
import os.path
import maya.cmds as cmds
def printMayaPaths():
	msp = mel.eval('getenv MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH')
	msp = str(msp)
	myList = msp.split(';')
	for each in myList:
		print each

but this one gives error

Code:

def addFolderToMayaPath(p):
	msp = mel.eval('getenv MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH')
	msp = str(msp)
	myList = msp.split(';')
	msp += ";" + p
	type(msp)
	mel.eval('putenv "MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH" ' + msp)
	maya.cmds.rehash()

QUESTION:
how exactly to add python list or path to MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH via python
huge thanks in advance everyone for time and suggestions and solutions
regards,lala

Does this work for you?

>> import sys

>> sys.path.append('c:\path\to\scripts')

Alternatively

>> import os

>> os.environ['MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH'] += ';c:\path\to\scripts'
