environment flag

[jhf555]

Couldn't find this answered yet, so...
I need to serve one image in development mode, and a different image
in production mode. How do I tell which mode I'm in from my app
engine code?...I'm hoping there's something like:
if ENVIRONMENT == "development":
img = image1
else:
img = image2

Thanks.

server = os.environ.get('SERVER_SOFTWARE','').lower()
if server.startswith('devel'):
img = image1
elif server.startswith('goog'):
img = image2
else:
logging.error('Unknown server: %s. Production/development?' % server)
image = something_else
