Environment variables' reimports not supported

[shbshka]

No matter how I write the environment.py file:

import environ
import pathlib

env = environ.Env(DEBUG=(bool, False))

current_dir = pathlib.Path(__file__).resolve().parent
env_file = pathlib.Path(current_dir, "./data/.env")
with open(env_file, 'r') as fd:
    environ.Env.read_env(env_file=fd)

TOKEN = env("TOKEN")
admin_chat = env("admin_chat")

or

import environ

env = environ.Env(DEBUG=(bool, False))
environ.Env.read_env(env_file='data/.env'))

TOKEN = env("TOKEN")
admin_chat = env("admin_chat")

I receive errors because of importing TOKEN and admin_chat to notify_admins.py and loader.py (from environment import X) and then running the script from main.py. The errors derive from having these values set to None, though running the files with imports separately and not from main is fine. Thus a stupid question: is django-environ only for django projects and cannot be adapted for other projects in any way?

My project's structure:

my_project
├──__pycache__
├── .spyproject
├──core
│  ├──__init__.py
│  ├──functions
│  │  └──__init__.py
│  │  └──notify_admins.py
│  └──handlers
│     └──__init__.py
│     └──start_message.py
├──data
│  └──.env
├──venv
├──environment.py
├──loader.py
└──main.py

Ready to provide the contents of other files if needed.

Hello @shbshka,

Thank you for reporting this issue. I'm trying to understand the nature of the problem you're facing, but I could use a bit more information to reproduce it accurately.

Would you be able to provide a minimal code sample that reproduces the issue? Ideally, something that can be run in a clean virtual machine with only Python installed would be most helpful.
