python-decouple seems to work well when the project is run locally, but when pulled to my AWS Ubuntu server and ran, I get "decouple.UndefinedValueError: SECRET_KEY not found. Declare it as envvar or define a default value."

The problem is that (1) you don't have your server environment variables set and (2) you don't have a .env to work as a fallback.

It seems you're not using the library correctly.

I decided to use the AWS parameters instead. But thank you for your quick reply.
