Is possible to use config.py for env variables?
I'd like to deploy my project from a public github repo
for local dev I have a config.py with the env variables (It gets imported with import config)
How can I set it up so it'll import the var on railway as well?

you should inject your variables via, env vars. and not commit secrets to your repo

100% the config.py is in the .gitignore

yeye. but im asming config.py can feed of env vars right?

#

so you can just use env vars when running on railway

Looks like the best way is to go with the load_dotenv module and just use a .env file

that sounds reasonable to me
