# Environment Variables { #environment-variables }

/// tip

If you already know what "environment variables" are and how to use them, feel free to skip this.

///

An environment variable (also known as "**env var**") is a variable that lives **outside** of the Python code, in the **operating system**, and could be read by your Python code (or by other programs as well).

Si ya sabes qué son las "variables de entorno" y cómo usarlas, siéntete libre de saltarte esto.

///

Una variable de entorno (también conocida como "**env var**") es una variable que vive **fuera** del código de Python, en el **sistema operativo**, y podría ser leída por tu código de Python (o por otros programas también).

Переменная окружения (также известная как «**env var**») - это переменная, которая живет **вне** кода Python, в **операционной системе**, и может быть прочитана вашим кодом Python (или другими программами).

在許多情況下，環境變數的用途和適用性可能不會立刻顯現。但是在開發過程中，它們會在許多不同的場景中出現，因此瞭解它們是非常必要的。

## Types and validation { #types-and-validation }

These environment variables can only handle text strings, as they are external to Python and have to be compatible with other programs and the rest of the system (and even with different operating systems, as Linux, Windows, macOS).
