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
