Thank you Fred, I needed this because decouple was throwing errors when I deploy my Django application on aws.

I seriously believe if anyone wants to learn python then Fred is the man to go to. It’s a shocker that this channel doesn’t have a million subscribers. All it takes is someone to see your teaching style and they will get hooked like I got hooked when I stumbled on your udemy course.

Your channel and udemy course are my references for any python related question.

When I did a python course ages ago I had a lot of trouble setting up a virtual environment and just gave up. Today when I tried running through the example in this video everything worked perfectly and I think I finally understand python virtual environments. Thank you for posting this much needed video! By the way, I just started your deep dive course on udemy (which is how I found your channel on youtube) and I think it would be a great help to students if you included this video in the extras of that course.

You share valuable knowledge from videos-teaching style, even to the detailed and nicely structered markdown syntax on your README files. Million thanx

This is quite useful. I use a plug-in called Env-File in PyCharm which enables me to use an env file by editing the load configuration

Hi Fred, how can we create a key value pair within .env file?

And pydantic can use python-dotenv in the settings management =)
