ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv'

the error that you're getting is solely because you don't have the dotenv module installed in your environment; so, just use pip to install the dotenv module (command would be "pip install dotenv").

Try
poetry remove python-dotenv
poetry add python-dotenv

It is necesarry to run the environment variables where you store your API Keys and other secret keys in the file (.env file) . In order to load is you should install the dotenv module via the requirements.txt file. In the requirements.txt file add the module name and run the file using the below command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Always create a virtual environment to run the Project and so that it is easy for you update and track the changes in the code. Always try to build a good file structure.

@dhanush-aravindh how i add dotenv module. what you mean by requirements.txt? could you give detail?

[dhanush-aravindh]

In the real world, in all production-grade environments, we need to use requirements.txt, which is a text file. It contains the names, and you can also add the specific version of modules that we use in the project. Once we declare this file. Then you install all the modules and the packages that we want for our project. For Example:

requirements.txt

1. Pandas
2. Numpy
3. ...

The above is an example of a requirements.txt file. To run this file, you have to give the command below in your command prompt, namely:

pip install -r requirements.txt

It will install all the packages and modules mentioned in the text file. All real-world applications follow this file structure to avoid errors.

Before running this, you have to create a virtual environment and activate it. The code should be modular in structure to easily read and write.
