uenv

Tiny simple .env reader.

Usage

import uenv

it will set ENVIRONMENT variables from the .env file.

Why

Ever writing a Jupyter notebook and you want to use a token, where do you set it?

• write directly to the Jupyter, then it is like write secret to code. Some may git add the .ipynb file and push to GitHub
• set shell ENVIRONMENT variable, then it would need to restart the notebook every time
• read from some random file, then you may need to delete before go production.

.env file is a popular way to handle it, put the env key=value inside it and load with some library, e.g https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv

Why uenv?

μenv, like utorrent. Mu .env reader, because dotenv name on PYPI is already taken, and https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv is a bit more full-features or more than too simple.

Install

pip install uenv
