Re: dotenv - django-environ - etc

an env file is basically imported into your OS environment, so you can retrieve them with the same interface.  That means you can easily include that with your build environment, or inject in some other means.  Can't do that with settings.

Also, lets you keep one settings file, and use `os.environ.get()` anywhere you need to, which provides an identical interface.

Hi everyone,

I can't wrap my mind around why having my settings in a .env file is more secure than having them in a local_settings.py file, or why one of the various methods is better than another as long as you keep your local settings out of your version control.  Any opinions?
