Double quotes no longer work for including the `#` in a string about django-environ HOT 5 OPEN

@sergeyklay could you please cut a release with this change?

from django-environ.

I just ran into the same issue, which causes the SECRET_KEY to be changed and thus our sessions can no longer be decoded. Our .env file has something like this:

SECRET_KEY="=w)yz1-tbmj)dpskj&#n25##)88l%n2p8#wiw)d5db9@mb#g18"

And when using the latest django-environ our SECRET_KEY in Django is "=w)yz1-tbmj)dpskj& (yes, that includes the double quote!).

I had the same issue today thanks for reporting @alexkiro !

from django-environ.

Weird that this is not getting any attention. The PR with the fix was merged 6 months ago, and still no release has been made?

We now switched away from django-environ and are using two dependencies instead:

1. https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv, which loads an .env file into Python's environment (after which values are loaded with Python's built-in os.getenv). No values are parsed, strings with hashtags don't get broken.
2. https://github.com/jazzband/dj-database-url to parse a database URL into Django's config dictionary

from django-environ.

Yes, I can confirm the same problem.
