A Python library for parsing and validating environment variables with type casting, .env file support, and custom parsers. It follows the Twelve-Factor App methodology and integrates well with Flask and Django.
Use cases
- parse environment variables with type casting in python
- load .env files without mutating os.environ
- validate required environment variables at startup
- read docker-style secret files into config
- manage twelve-factor app configuration in flask or django
When to choose
- you want typed, validated environment variable parsing in Python
- you need .env file support with variable expansion and prefixes
- you use Flask or Django and want clean config handling
When to avoid
- you need full config management with files, remote sources, or hot reload
- you prefer pydantic-settings or a settings framework with nested models
