Hi, I'm Saurabh. I started python-dotenv in 2014 to load settings from a .env file in 12-factor apps. It is now downloaded about 580 million times a month from PyPI, and it often sits in the code path that handles secrets.

I maintain it in my spare time with @bbc2. Over the last year we shipped three releases (1.2.2 to 1.2.4) and merged 35 pull requests from 20+ contributors.

What sponsorship pays for

  • Time for issue triage and code review (100+ open issues and PRs)
  • Keeping up with new Python versions and fixing regressions quickly
  • Careful review of every change, because python-dotenv reads secrets
  • Docs and examples

What it does not buy
Influence over the roadmap or priority on feature requests. python-dotenv stays BSD-licensed and free for everyone.

If your company depends on python-dotenv, a monthly sponsorship is the most direct way to keep it healthy. Thank you!
