The word **program** is commonly used to describe many things:

* The **code** that you write, the **Python files**.
* The **file** that can be **executed** by the operating system, for example: `python`, `python.exe` or `uvicorn`.
* A particular program while it is **running** on the operating system, using the CPU, and storing things on memory. This is also called a **process**.

### What is a Process

* **Intuitif** : Excellente compatibilité avec les IDE. <abbr title="également connu sous le nom d'auto-complétion, autocomplétion, IntelliSense">Complétion</abbr> complète. Moins de temps passé à déboguer.
* **Facile** : Conçu pour être facile à utiliser et à apprendre. Moins de temps passé à lire la documentation.
* **Concis** : Diminue la duplication de code. De nombreuses fonctionnalités liées à la déclaration de chaque paramètre. Moins de bugs.

Then we can test that it is used.

## Reading a `.env` file

If you have many settings that possibly change a lot, maybe in different environments, it might be useful to put them on a file and then read them from it as if they were environment variables.

This practice is common enough that it has a name, these environment variables are commonly placed in a file `.env`, and the file is called a "dotenv".

!!! tip

    Here's where we will generate the file `requirements.txt`

3. Install Poetry in this Docker stage.

4. Copy the `pyproject.toml` and `poetry.lock` files to the `/tmp` directory.

    Because it uses `./poetry.lock*` (ending with a `*`), it won't crash if that file is not available yet.

5. Generate the `requirements.txt` file.
