gunthercox / environment-file

Import environment variables from the environment, default to ones defined in a file.

Environment File

This is a very simple package that makes it simple to load a value from an environment variable if one exists. If the environment variable is not defined, then a file will be checked to see if a variable with that name exists.

Use case

This package is intended to be used in a scenario where there are environment variables used in the production environment for an application, but these variables are either different or are more convenient to define in a file in the development environment.

Installation

pip install environment-file
