Load Django Settings from Environmental Variables with One Magical Line of Code
summary
Small zero-dependency package DjEnv reads all environment variables matching DJANGO_ (skips DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE), trims spaces, auto-casts primitives via simple-env, parses JSON blobs into Python objects, and sets Django settings into the module namespace by writing into globals() after stripping the DJANGO_ prefix. Usage reduces to a single line from DjEnv.settings import * in settings.py. The code is tiny, inspects env names with a regex, and removes temporary variables after setting them.
