I'm on your third video, and it's absolutely mind-boggling how you happen to be teaching the exact Python concepts I want to learn quickly for my current project. You're just the helper I was looking for.

Ironically, I just began using python-decouple for .env files which happens to be one of a few late improvements in my scripting. Love this channel, definitely a gold mine of dev related knowledge.

Hello, I am confused by your use of $ and non-string values within your dotenv file. What is the purpose of this? Sorry if this is a dumb question & thanks for your video

Thanks for this tutorials, actually have been struggling to get a way around this .env thing for a while with a kivy app.

Please I mean to ask, is this a very secure way to do it or there are other ways plus when I try to use it with my kivy app, bulldozer keeps giving me errors whenever it tries to download the dotenv module. Thanks in anticipation boss

Hey, thanks a bunch! So, the other day I accidentally made my OpenAI API key public for a short while, and had to delete the whole repository. But thanks to your help, I'm following best practices now. By the way, I can't help but notice your white board - looks like there are some differential equations and a neural network model, maybe some content related to gradient descent too? It's really intriguing!

Is it recommended to store list and integer in .env? Because I need to convert `os.getenv()` with `ast.literal_eval` before passing as a variable. I store related RSS URL as a list in my script.

What are the pros and cons of using .ini, .env, .toml and .yaml for storing environment variables?

[itstobystic]

what happens when you have more than one .env file ?

[murphygreen]

What is the benefit of doing this over a regular toml or yaml or ini file?
