Hide API keys in Python scripts using python-dotenv, .env, and .gitignore

Sometimes you want to make your code public, but don't want to share an API key, email address, or password with the world. Using a combination of python-dotenv and a .gitignore file, you'll be good to go! Note: If you're using Jupyter Notebooks, make sure you're not printing your API keys all over the place!! (and also: your .env file will need to be in the same directory as your .ipynb) repo: https://github.com/jsoma/dotenv-example python-dotenv: https://github.com/theskumar/python-d... gitignore: https://gitignore.io/
