The idea of this package is to unify a lot of packages that make the same stuff: Take a string from os.environ, parse and cast it to some of useful python typed variables. To do that and to use the 12factor_ approach, some connection strings are expressed as url, so this package can parse it and return a urllib.parse.ParseResult. These strings from os.environ are loaded from a .env file and filled in os.environ with setdefault method, to avoid to overwrite the real environ. A similar approach is used in Two Scoops of Django_ book and explained in 12factor-django_ article.

Using django-environ you can stop to make a lot of unversioned settings_*.py to configure your app. See cookiecutter-django_ for a concrete example on using with a django project.

Feature Support

Fast and easy multi environment for deploy
Fill os.environ with .env file variables
Variables casting (see supported_types_ below)
Url variables exploded to django specific package settings

Django-environ officially supports Django 1.8 ~ 2.0.

Installation

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install django-environ

NOTE: No need to add it to INSTALLED_APPS.

Then create a .env file:

.. code-block:: bash

DEBUG=on
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
DATABASE_URL=psql://user:un-githubbedpassword@127.0.0.1:8458/database
SQLITE_URL=sqlite:///my-local-sqlite.db
CACHE_URL=memcache://127.0.0.1:11211,127.0.0.1:11212,127.0.0.1:11213
REDIS_URL=rediscache://127.0.0.1:6379/1?client_class=django_redis.client.DefaultClient&password=ungithubbed-secret

And use it with settings.py_ above. Don't forget to add .env in your .gitignore (tip: add .env.example with a template of your variables).

Tips

Using unsafe characters in URLs


In order to use unsafe characters you have to encode with ``urllib.parse.encode`` before you set into ``.env`` file.

.. code-block:: bash

    DATABASE_URL=mysql://user:%23password@127.0.0.1:3306/dbname

See https://perishablepress.com/stop-using-unsafe-characters-in-urls/ for reference.

Smart Casting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

django-environ has a "Smart-casting" enabled by default, if you don't provide a ``cast`` type, it will be detected from ``default`` type.
This could raise side effects (see `#192 <https://github.com/joke2k/django-environ/issues/192>`_).
To disable it use ``env.smart_caset = False``.
New major release will disable it as default. 


Multiple redis cache locations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For redis cache, `multiple master/slave or shard locations <http://niwinz.github.io/django-redis/latest/#_pluggable_clients>`_ can be configured as follows:

.. code-block:: bash

    CACHE_URL='rediscache://master:6379,slave1:6379,slave2:6379/1'

Email settings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to set email configuration for django you can use this code:

.. code-block:: python

    EMAIL_CONFIG = env.email_url(
        'EMAIL_URL', default='smtp://user:password@localhost:25')

    vars().update(EMAIL_CONFIG)

SQLite urls
~~~~~~~~~~~

SQLite connects to file based databases. 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 absolute

file path: ``sqlite:////full/path/to/your/database/file.sqlite``.

Nested lists
------------

Some settings such as Django's ``ADMINS`` make use of nested lists. You can use something like this to handle similar cases.

.. code-block:: python

    # DJANGO_ADMINS=John:john@admin.com,Jane:jane@admin.com
    ADMINS = [x.split(':') for x in env.list('DJANGO_ADMINS')]

    # or use more specific function

    from email.utils import getaddresses

    # DJANGO_ADMINS=Full Name <email-with-name@example.com>,anotheremailwithoutname@example.com
    ADMINS = getaddresses([env('DJANGO_ADMINS')])

Multiline value
---------------

You can set a multiline variable value:

.. code-block:: python

    # MULTILINE_TEXT=Hello\\nWorld
    >>> print env.str('MULTILINE_TEXT', multiline=True)
    Hello
    World


Proxy value
-----------

You can set a value prefixed by ``$`` to use as a proxy to another variable value:

.. code-block:: python

    # BAR=FOO
    # PROXY=$BAR
    >>> print env.str('PROXY')
    FOO

Multiple env files
------------------
It is possible to have multiple env files and select one using environment variables.

.. code-block:: python

    env = environ.Env()
    env.read_env(env.str('ENV_PATH', '.env'))

Now ``ENV_PATH=other-env ./manage.py runserver`` uses ``other-env`` while ``./manage.py runserver`` uses ``.env``.
