Python-dotenv reads key-value pairs from a `.env` file and can set them as
environment
variables. It helps in the development of applications following the
[12-factor] principles.

## Getting Started

```shell
pip install python-dotenv
```

If your application takes its configuration from environment variables,
like a 12-factor
application, launching it in development is not very practical because you
have to set
those environment variables yourself.

To help you with that, you can add Python-dotenv to your application to
make it load the
configuration from a `.env` file when it is present (e.g. in development)
while remaining
configurable via the environment:

```python
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()  # take environment variables from .env.

# Code of your application, which uses environment variables (e.g. from
`os.environ` or
# `os.getenv`) as if they came from the actual environment.
```

By default, `load_dotenv` doesn't override existing environment variables.

To configure the development environment, add a `.env` in the root
directory of your
project:

```
.
├── .env
└── foo.py
```

The syntax of `.env` files supported by python-dotenv is similar to that of
Bash:

```bash
# Development settings
DOMAIN=example.org
ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@${DOMAIN}
ROOT_URL=${DOMAIN}/app
```

If you use variables in values, ensure they are surrounded with `{` and
`}`, like
`${DOMAIN}`, as bare variables such as `$DOMAIN` are not expanded.

You will probably want to add `.env` to your `.gitignore`, especially if it
contains
secrets like a password.

See the section "File format" below for more information about what you can
write in a
`.env` file.

## Other Use Cases

### Load configuration without altering the environment

The function `dotenv_values` works more or less the same way as
`load_dotenv`, except it
doesn't touch the environment, it just returns a `dict` with the values
parsed from the
`.env` file.

```python
from dotenv import dotenv_values

config = dotenv_values(".env")  # config = {"USER": "foo", "EMAIL":
"foo@example.org"}
```
