CloudEnv Python

Watch this screencast:

Installing CloudEnv’s Python Library is easy.

$ pip install cloudenv

Or if you are using Python 3, you might try this command:

$ pip3 install cloudenv

On Mac OS X, you might need to run this command:

$ python3 -m pip install --user cloudenv

Here is an example of a simple hello.py file you could use to test CloudEnv with.

import os
import cloudenv
cloudenv.load_cloudenv()

print(os.getenv("FOO"))

But if you run this now you would get a strange result:

$ python hello.py
None

That’s because we haven’t created the CloudEnv environment variable yet.

So the next step is initializing the app:

$ cloudenv init
Name of App: pythontest
==> SUCCESS: You have created the app 'pythontest' in CloudEnv. Try the following command next:
EDITOR=nano cloudenv edit
==> REMEMBER: You need to distribute the following file to all your team members and deployment servers
/home/lucas/pythontest/.cloudenv-secret-key

And now you can modify your environmental variables using cloudenv edit

$ cloudenv edit
FOO=bar

Finally, we can get the output we expect.

$ python hello.py
bar
