Env Validator for Python Developers

Quick Answer

DevToolHQ's env validator works great alongside Python. Use it to quickly env validator during development, then integrate the pattern into your Python codebase using the code example below.

Use Cases in Python

  • 1.Validate required env vars at application startup
  • 2.Catch missing configuration before deployment
  • 3.Type-check environment variable values
  • 4.Provide clear error messages for missing config

Python Code Example

Python
import os
from typing import get_type_hints

# Simple required-var check
REQUIRED = ["DATABASE_URL", "SECRET_KEY", "REDIS_URL"]
missing = [k for k in REQUIRED if not os.getenv(k)]
if missing:
    raise RuntimeError(f"Missing env vars: {', '.join(missing)}")

# Using Pydantic v2 for typed validation
from pydantic import BaseSettings

class Settings(BaseSettings):
    DATABASE_URL: str
    SECRET_KEY: str
    DEBUG: bool = False
    PORT: int = 8000

    class Config:
        env_file = ".env"

settings = Settings()
