Support for .env files

Issue

First off I really like poetry- I’d actually only recently migrated over to pipenv but I already see the advantages of poetry and would ideally like to use it full time.

I primarily work with Django and other web frameworks that can require a large amount of configuration which- when following 12 factor app practices- involves lots of environment variables that necessitates the use of a .env file.

Is there a possibility of adding in .env file support, specifically for poetry’s run command so that the resulting command runs both in the virtualenv and with the environment as configured in the .env file?

Like I said above this is beyond the scope of Poetry so I am closing this issue.

I don’t think this is in the scope of Poetry.

Since Poetry is not configured via environment variables there are no reasons for it to load a .env file.

If the libraries you use need it, it’s their responsability to load it not Poetry’s.
