Welcome to django-environ documentation¶
Release v0.11.2 (What's new?).
django-environ
is the Python package that allows you to use
Twelve-factor methodology to configure your
Django application with environment variables.
Overview¶
The idea of this package is to unify a lot of packages that make the same stuff:
Take a string from os.environ
, parse and cast it to some of useful python
typed variables. To do that and to use the 12factor
approach, some connection strings are expressed as url, so this package can parse
it and return a urllib.parse.ParseResult
. These strings from os.environ
are loaded from a .env
file and filled in os.environ
with setdefault
method, to avoid to overwrite the real environ.
A similar approach is used in Two Scoops of Django
book and explained in 12factor-django
article.
Using django-environ
you can stop to make a lot of unversioned
settings_*.py
to configure your app.
See cookiecutter-django
for a concrete example on using with a django project.

instead ofenviron.Env
)
