# 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).

# Variables de Entorno

/// tip | Consejo

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).

$ python main.py

// As we didn't set the env var, we get the default value

Hello World from Python

// But if we create an environment variable first
$ export MY_NAME="Wade Wilson"

// And then call the program again
$ python main.py

// Now it can read the environment variable

Hello Wade Wilson from Python
```

# Biến môi trường (Environment Variables)

/// tip

Nếu bạn đã biết về "biến môi trường" và cách sử dụng chúng, bạn có thể bỏ qua phần này.

///

Một biến môi trường (còn được gọi là "**env var**") là một biến mà tồn tại **bên ngoài** đoạn mã Python, ở trong **hệ điều hành**, và có thể được đọc bởi đoạn mã Python của bạn (hoặc bởi các chương trình khác).

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。
