Reading in environment variables from an environment file

by

I use Python Dotenv Library. Just install the library pip install python-dotenv, create a .env file with your environment variables, and import the environment variables in your code like this:

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

MY_ENV_VAR = os.getenv('MY_ENV_VAR')

From the .env file:

MY_ENV_VAR="This is my env var content."

This is the way I do when I need to test code outside my docker system and prepare it to return it into docker again.
