An option to specify .env filename

Hi. Similarly to django-configurations, it could be very convenient to be able to specify an environment filename with variables, not just to have .env hard-coded. For example, I could therefore specify a set of vars for different environments, e.g. prod.env, staging.env, and I could switch them using another env variable, e.g.:

DECOUPLE_CONFIGURATION=staging.env python program.py

Hi @balta2ar while I think it’s a good idea too, and thinking about the best way how to implement it, you’re still can use from decouple import AutoConfig and use the search_path argument:

config = AutoConfig(search_path='./staging-env/') 

while your you have this ./stagin-env/.env

I don’t understand the need for this since the role purpose of decouple is to avoid having different settings layouts. The values may change on each instance, but the keys must all be the same in every environment.

Can anyone detail a concrete and real use case for this?
