Parsenvy is an enviously elegant environment variable parsing Python library.

Environment variables are strings by default. This can be rather inconvenient if you're dealing with a number of them, and in a variety of desired types. Parsenvy aims to provide an intuitive, explicit interface for retrieving these values in appropriate types with human-friendly syntax.

• Compatible with Python 3.9+ only (the last Python 2 compatible version was 1.0.2).
• Fully tested on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
• No dependencies outside of the Python standard library.
• BSD (3-Clause) licensed.
• Utterly awesome.
• Now with docs!
