Awesome Environment Manager

A Python utility for automatically managing environment variables with type safety and easy configuration.

Description

Environment Manager provides a simple yet powerful way to handle environment variables in Python applications through type-hinted class attributes. It automatically loads environment variables and converts them to the correct types based on your type hints.

Features

• 🔒 Type-safe environment variable handling
• 🔄 Automatic type conversion
• 📝 Support for .env files (via python-dotenv)
• 🎯 Support for various data types:
  • Basic types (str, int, float, etc.)
  • Boolean values with flexible input formats
  • Lists with type hints (using semicolon as separator)
  • Dictionaries (key-value pairs)

Installation

bash pip install awesome-environment-manager

or using uv

uv pip install awesome-environment-manager

Quick Start

from aem import EnvironmentClass

class AppConfig(EnvironmentClass):
  DATABASE_URL: str = "postgresql://localhost"
  PORT: int = 8080
  DEBUG: bool = False
  ALLOWED_HOSTS: list[str] = ["localhost", "127.0.0.1", "example.com"]
  DB_CONFIG: dict = {"host": "localhost", "port": "5432", "name": "mydb"}

Create an instance - environment variables will be loaded automatically

os.environ["PORT"] = 8282

config = AppConfig()
print(config.DATABASE_URL) # => postgresql://localhost
print(config.PORT) # => 8282

Environment Variable Formats

• Strings: Simple string values

  DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432/db
  

• Numbers: Will be converted to int/float

  PORT=8080
  

• Booleans: Supports various formats

  DEBUG=true  # Also accepts: 1, yes, y, on
  

• Lists: Use semicolons as separators

  ALLOWED_HOSTS=localhost;127.0.0.1;example.com
  

• Dictionaries: Use semicolons between pairs and colons between keys and values

  DB_CONFIG=host:localhost;port:5432;name:mydb
  

.env Support

The package automatically supports .env files if python-dotenv is installed:

pip install python-dotenv

Then create a .env file:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://11.22.33.44
DEBUG=1

Result

config = AppConfig()
print(config.DATABASE_URL) # => postgresql://11.22.33.44
print(config.PORT) # => 8080
print(config.DEBUG) # => True
