django-environ
is the Python package that allows you to use Twelve-factor methodology to configure your Django application with environment variables.
For that, it gives you an easy way to configure Django application using environment variables obtained from an environment file and provided by the OS:
import environ import os env = environ.Env( # set casting, default value DEBUG=(bool, False) ) # Set the project base directory BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))) # Take environment variables from .env file environ.Env.read_env(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '.env')) # False if not in os.environ because of casting above DEBUG = env('DEBUG') # Raises Django's ImproperlyConfigured # exception if SECRET_KEY not in os.environ SECRET_KEY = env('SECRET_KEY') # Parse database connection url strings # like psql://user:pass@127.0.0.1:8458/db DATABASES = { # read os.environ['DATABASE_URL'] and raises # ImproperlyConfigured exception if not found # # The db() method is an alias for db_url(). 'default': env.db(), # read os.environ['SQLITE_URL'] 'extra': env.db_url( 'SQLITE_URL', default='sqlite:////tmp/my-tmp-sqlite.db' ) } CACHES = { # Read os.environ['CACHE_URL'] and raises # ImproperlyConfigured exception if not found. # # The cache() method is an alias for cache_url(). 'default': env.cache(), # read os.environ['REDIS_URL'] 'redis': env.cache_url('REDIS_URL') }
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.
