How do I troubleshoot environment variables in Django?

To troubleshoot environment variables in Django, first ensure they are set correctly in your environment. You can check this by using the os.environ dictionary in your Django settings.

What if the variables are not being recognized?

If the variables are not recognized, make sure you are loading them correctly. You can use libraries like python-decouple or django-environ to manage them more easily.

Can you show me an example of how to use python-decouple?

Sure! First, install it using pip install python-decouple. Then, create a .env file with your variables, and in your settings.py, use from decouple import config to access them.

What should I do if I still face issues?

If issues persist, check for typos in your variable names, ensure your .env file is in the correct directory, and restart your server to apply changes.
