foreman reads from .env
. manage.py
doesn't. Let's fix that.
Original implementation was written by @jacobian.
Tested on Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8.
pip install django-dotenv
Your manage.py
should look like:
#!/usr/bin/env python import os import sys import dotenv if __name__ == "__main__": dotenv.read_dotenv() os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "project.settings") try: from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line except ImportError as exc: raise ImportError( "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and " "available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you " "forget to activate a virtual environment?" ) from exc execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
You can also pass read_dotenv()
an explicit path to the .env
file, or to the directory where it lives. It's smart, it'll figure it out.
By default, variables that are already defined in the environment take precedence over those in your .env
file. To change this, call read_dotenv(override=True)
.
Check out tests.py to see all the supported formats that your .env
can have.
If you're running Django with WSGI and want to load a .env
file, your wsgi.py
would look like this:
import os import dotenv from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application dotenv.read_dotenv(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)), '.env')) os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "project.settings") application = get_wsgi_application()
That's it. Now go 12 factor the crap out of something.
AttributeError: module 'dotenv' has no attribute 'read_dotenv'
There is another similar package, python-dotenv, which also contains a module called dotenv
. If that package is installed, then you will see:
AttributeError: module 'dotenv' has no attribute 'read_dotenv'
To resolve this, uninstall python-dotenv.
read_dotenv
is not reading from my environment file!
By default, variables that are already defined in the environment take precedence over those in your .env
