How to access environment variable values?

Question

I set an environment variable that I want to access in my Python application. How do I get its value?

Answer 1

There's also a number of great libraries. Envs for example will allow you to parse objects out of your environment variables, which is rad. For example:

from envs import env
env('SECRET_KEY') # 'your_secret_key_here'
env('SERVER_NAMES',var_type='list') #['your', 'list', 'here']
