Environment variable manager

Use knobs if you worship at the church of the 12 Factor App

A knob is a wrapper for an environment variable. It can * Read and write an environment variable * Make sure it is of the expected type * Validate a value is good.

>>> pirates = Knob('JOLLY_ROGER_PIRATES', 124, description='Yar')
>>> pirates.get()
124
>>> pirates.get_type

knobs will search for a nominated environmental file (default .env) and load that into the environment. A knob is type aware, configured from the environment and its value can be persisted to ease the creation of configuration files.

Knobs uses a forked copy of python-sotenv
