# Python Configuration Management

Get settings and secrets out of your code

## What this does

Your Python app has values baked into it - hostnames, keys, flags - that should not be there, and should differ between staging and production. This covers pulling them out into environment variables and typed settings. Reach for it before a secret ends up in a commit.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Move configuration out of the codebase
- Set up typed settings with pydantic-settings
- Keep secrets out of source

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Python Configuration Management

This covers configuration management for Python applications using environment variables and typed settings.

It applies when you are externalizing configuration, setting up pydantic-settings, working out how to manage secrets, or making an application behave differently depending on the environment it is running in.

## Questions

### Is Python Configuration Management safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Python Configuration Management and recorded 0 findings and 2 flagged items. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/python-configuration.

### How do I install Python Configuration Management?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/python-configuration on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/be57c0b2e3c05c528ca6132b87410b385718775f/plugins/python-development/skills/python-configuration. Install from that link, not the branch.
