Reading a .env file in Python

The os.environ.get method is usually what I used to read configuration information in the system environment, including secrets, in my python scripts. But sometimes (like during testing) it's convenient to use a local file instead. That's where the python-dotenv library comes in handy.

The library leverages os.environ.get to load variables from a .env file like the system loads them from .profile or .bashrc (in Unix-like systems). By default dotenv looks for the .env file in the same directory as the running program. Note: Always remmember to exclude it from your repo by adding ".env" to your .gitignore. Github's own sample Python.gitignore already does that.

Install:

'use strict';

import { Memento } from "vscode";

export class LocalStorageService {
    
    constructor(private storage: Memento) { }   
    
    public getValue<T>(key : string) : T{
        return this.storage.get<T>(key, null);
