Lecture 4:Question about .env file

[Dahe-Pan]

I follow the step to create one .env file inside web3 folder, and write "export variable=value", but unlike in the video, the 'export' in my file is still white and when I use getenv function to use it from another .py file, it returns 'None', when I add new environmental variables from Advanced system setting, it worked. Can anyone explain how to set .env file? I'm very thankful.

Hello @Dahe-Pan

Please show us your code where you are importing .env and example .env file you are using.

Thanks for your help, I just found the mistake I made which is I forgot to use dotenv.

Yup I thought that might be the case too, glad it is fixed now :)
