## Read env vars in Python { #read-env-vars-in-python }

You could also create environment variables **outside** of Python, in the terminal (or with any other method), and then **read them in Python**.

For example you could have a file `main.py` with:

```Python hl_lines="3"
import os

    }

    public Settings read(Reader reader, boolean strict) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException {
        try {
            return new Settings(delegate.read(reader, strict, null));
        } catch (XMLStreamException e) {
            throw new XmlPullParserException(e.getMessage(), null, e);
        }
    }

    public Settings read(Reader reader) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException {

            // Read first 5 bytes
            byte[] buffer = new byte[5];
            int bytesRead = stream.read(buffer);
            assertEquals(5, bytesRead);
            assertEquals("Hello", new String(buffer, 0, bytesRead, "UTF-8"));

            // Read remaining bytes
            byte[] remaining = new byte[20];
            int remainingBytes = stream.read(remaining);

    ByteSource source = out.asByteSource();

    out.write(data);
    assertThat(source.read()).isEqualTo(data);

    out.reset();
    assertThat(source.read()).isEmpty();

    out.write(data);
    assertThat(source.read()).isEqualTo(data);

    out.close();
  }
