dotenv keeps '\r' at end of variables in django

[rlkelly]

Is it possible to strip my variables when I from dotenv import load_dotenv it keeps the trailing '\r' on my variables which is breaking my build and I have to manually update my variables or call os.environ['env_variable'].strip().

How can I avoid this?

Hi @rlkelly, not sure if you meant to close this. .env file support variables in quotes, so this problem shouldn't arise. Try storing the variables as:

foo="bar"

Yes, we can remove the \r or \n from the variables, but I would not advise on using .strip() which also removes blank spaces.
