Python with decoupled variables

Sometimes a need to get variables into your Python code, without hard-coding them into the program itself will arise.

Here is how it can handled.

    sudo apt install python3-decouple -y

Add this into your py program’s import lines:

from decouple import config

Next, you need to create .env file and insert variables into it.

touch .env

nano .env

SOME_VAR=some_value

Then in your code, you would refer to your variable like this:

some_var=config(“SOME_VAR”)
