a better dotenv–from the creator of dotenv.

• run anywhere (cross-platform)
• multi-environment
• encrypted envs

 

Quickstart

Install and use it in code just like python-dotenv.

pip install python-dotenvx

Then run dotenvx-postinstall to install the dotenvx binary (python-dotenvx is a wrapper).

dotenvx-postinstall

# or to specify the os-arch – useful for building binaries to a specific target such as linux-x86_64 on aws lambda
dotenvx-postinstall --os linux --arch x86_64

# you might also find you need to specify PYTHONPATH depend on how/where dotenvx installs to
PYTHONPATH=. bin/dotenvx-postinstall --os linux --arch x86_64

Then use it in code.

# main.py
import os
from dotenvx import load_dotenvx
load_dotenvx() # take environment variables from .env.

print(os.getenv("S3_BUCKET"))
