This is fine for wireframe work, or poc work. However in production you’d want to call something like aws param store for your secrets.

‘keyring’ is another library that can be used if you don’t want those values in text files.

Thanks Corey. I have an issue most times, when I’m building a with openai api key it doesn’t use the api key in my .env file but uses the one In my system environment which I deleted. Do you know how I can fix this?

[pinak]

It surely is nice and easy. I am new to this and want to know how other programmers will get those sensitive details since it is not pushed to repo. Or how will it work in production?

While this archieves a seperation of code and secrets, it is no more secure than a simple plaintext file.
Any secrets should always be stored encryped at rest.

why not just use a regular text or json file? why use a whole dedicated library?
