pdm-dotenv: Simplify Your Project's Environment Variable Management
Are you working on a Python project that uses pdm for dependency management and dotenv for local environment variable and secrets management? Do you find it frustrating when CLI tools like pgcli don't automatically pick up your .env file, forcing you to resort to npm install -g dotenv-cli? I've got a more convenient solution for you!

Don't know how to work with .gitignore, first time actively working on a public repo
Similarly, I use python-dotenv which reads environment variables, or variables set in a .env file. Then in your settings.py file you can do things like:

Writing unit tests, constants, and source control (GIT) question!?
Locally you may want to use a .env file that is also in .gitignore and python-dotenv to auto activate them. Also having an .env.template is also a good idea to help others working on the project know what they need to set in order for things to work.

Need help running Django at a local machine after deploying it
But there's no web UI to set them for your local dev version. But there are various Python modules that will read environment variables from a file named .env. I like https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv myself. So try using that - create a .env file for your local dev site and use dotenv instead of os.getenv() to read the environment variables.

How to organize Django settings
I've been meaning to take a look at https://github.com/rochacbruno/dynaconf lately. Seems really great, can even load values dynamically from external sources. Seems like the next evolution in configuration IMO ¯_(ツ)_/¯

How to secure secrets within a docker image?
I've recently learnt sops and for Django have combined that with dynaconf although it should work fine with any python.
- Stop hardcoding and start using config files instead, it takes very little effort with configparser
What are some alternatives?
When comparing python-dotenv and dynaconf you can also consider the following projects:
python-decouple - Strict separation of config from code.
hydra - Hydra is a framework for elegantly configuring complex applications
django-environ - Django-environ allows you to utilize 12factor inspired environment variables to configure your Django application.
ConfigParser
django-dotenv - Loads environment variables from .env
confuse - painless YAML config files for Python
environs - simplified environment variable parsing
profig - A straightforward configuration library for Python.
