    |__/             |___/The idea of this package is to unify a lot of packages that make the same stuff:
Take a string fromos.environ, parse and cast it to some of useful python typed variables.
To do that and to use the12factorapproach, some connection strings are expressed as url,
so this package can parse it and return aurllib.parse.ParseResult.
These strings fromos.environare loaded from a.envfile and filled inos.environwithsetdefaultmethod,
to avoid to overwrite the real environ.
A similar approach is used inTwo Scoops of Djangobook and explained in12factor-djangoarticle.Using django-environ you can stop to make a lot of unversionedsettings_*.pyto configure your app.

The same URL format is used, omitting the hostname,
and using the “file” portion as the filename of the database.
This has the effect of four slashes being present for an absolutefile path:sqlite:////full/path/to/your/database/file.sqlite.Nested listsSome settings such as Django’sADMINSmake use of nested lists. You can use something like this to handle similar cases.# DJANGO_ADMINS=John:john@admin.com,Jane:jane@admin.comADMINS=[x.split(':')forxinenv.list('DJANGO_ADMINS')]# or use more specific functionfromemail.utilsimportgetaddresses# DJANGO_ADMINS=Full Name <email-with-name@example.com>,anotheremailwithoutname@example.comADMINS=getaddresses([env('DJANGO_ADMINS')])Multiline valueYou can set a multiline variable value:# MULTILINE_TEXT=Hello\\nWorld>>>printenv.str('MULTILINE_TEXT',multiline=True)HelloWorldProxy valueYou can set a value prefixed by$to use as a proxy to another variable value:# BAR=FOO# PROXY=$BAR>>>printenv.str('PROXY')FOOMultiple env filesIt is possible to have multiple env files and select one using environment variables.env=environ.Env()env.read_env(env.str('ENV_PATH','.env'))NowENV_PATH=other-env./manage.py runserverusesother-envwhile./manage.py runserveruses.env.Tests$ git clone git@github.com:joke2k/django-environ.git
