The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty - os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY')

On W10 I defined an environment variable: SECRET_KEY

In shell I can read the key:

>>> import os

>>> os.environ.get('SECRET_KEY')

'mysecretkey...'

But when I'm doing the same thing in settings.py I get:

\lib\site-packages\django\conf\__init__.py", line 90, in __getattr__
    raise ImproperlyConfigured("The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty.")
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty.

I found all sorts of solutions, but none works for my app. What should I do?

Thank you!
