Hi, I noticed that when i run a

pex_binary

it is loading my

.env

file without any additional configuration, is this the expected behaviour?

Do you have a library like

python-dotenv

that’s being invoked inside the PEX? And are you sure that the environment variables aren’t set in your terminal window where you invoke the PEX?

https://github.com/pantsbuild/scie-pants/ "The first .env file found in the current directory or any of its parent directories is loaded and exported into Pants (and scie-pants) environment."

Are you building a PEX and invoking it? Or doing

pants run ...

?

Just pants run
