Feature Request

I'm working on migrating from pipenv to poetry, and I found I'm missing a feature from pipenv, the automatic loading of .env files - https://pipenv-fork.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced.html#automatic-loading-of-env
We use it extensively as a way of setting per project environment variables without requiring additional scripts.

Seems like a good candidate for a plugin, once the plugin system is in place.

On the other hand, isn't it what python-dotenv does?

Hi, it would be a very good candidate once poetry provides a plugin system.

The functionality is very similar to what python-dotenv provides, but it's supported natively in pipenv.
It means that I don't have to litter the code with environment variable loading, and let the pipenv shell/run do it once for me on entry.

This is a duplicate of the following ticket: Support for .env files (#337)

As such we should probably either close this one, or reframe the ticket as plugin wish by changing the title and the introductory message.
