About:
Dynaconf is a powerful library for managing configuration settings in Python applications. It supports multiple file formats, environment variables, and secret vaults, offering a unified interface for accessing configuration values. Its key strength lies in enabling dynamic configuration changes without requiring application restarts.

Key Features:

Supports multiple backends (TOML, YAML, JSON, INI, environment variables)
Secrets management integration (Vault, Redis, S3)
Dynamic reloading of configuration without restarts
Hierarchical configuration merging
Type casting and validation

Use Cases:

Managing environment-specific settings for Django or Flask applications
Centralizing configuration for distributed microservices
Handling sensitive credentials securely in production environments

Alternatives:

python-dotenv – Simpler tool focused on loading .env files; lacks Dynaconf's advanced features like validation and multiple backends.
Pydantic – Focuses on data validation and settings management using type hints; often used alongside Dynaconf or for different use cases.
