How to set the environment variable in tox?

I have tox 2.9.1

$ tox --version
2.9.1 imported from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/tox/__init__.pyc
registered plugins:
    tox-pyenv-1.1.0 at /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/tox_pyenv.pyc

File structure and content are as below

$ tree .
.
├── setup.py
├── test_env.py
└── tox.ini

0 directories, 3 files

setup.py

$ cat setup.py
from setuptools import setup

setup(name="Tox Testing")

tox.ini

$ cat tox.ini
[tox]
envlist = py35
setenv =
    XYZ = 123

[testenv]
deps=pytest
commands=py.test

test_env.py

$ cat test_env.py
import os

def test_env():
    assert os.getenv('XYZ') == 123

When I run the tox command, my test is failing.

$ tox -v

From the doc of setenv it seems it should set the environment variable.

setenv must be in [testenv]:

[tox]
envlist = py35

[testenv]
deps=pytest
commands=py.test
setenv =
    XYZ = 123

You can make test envs inherit values from [base], according to the docs.

[tox]
envlist =
    test1
    test2

[base]
setenv =
    XYZ = 123

[testenv:test1]
deps=pytest
commands=py.test
setenv =
    {[base]setenv}

[testenv:test2]
deps=pytest
commands=py.test
setenv =
    {[base]setenv}
