Hey guys, I'm trying to run Docker (with a Debian image) on a Mac. My Python installation on Mac has case-sensitive imports but not in Docker, and this is breaking the `queue` module which has both `queue` and `Queue`. I'm guessing the Python build on Mac deals with Mac having case-insensitive file system but in Docker it's a Debian build so it doesn't, but because Docker is using case-insensitive file system, it causes issue. Is there any way around this?

<@Kiersten> <@Beula> The issue is that I want to pass the field name to a generic function so it can be used to filter on any field name. <https://github.com/TomFaulkner/pypihole/blob/master/pypihole/pypihole.py> See the counts_client and _counts_generic functions. (line 62 and 69-70 in particular) I do access the namedtuple with the entry.client and such wherever possible, of course. But, I don't think that is possible here.

<@Junita> I did more research on my problem. It seems on Mac/Windows, Python enforces case-sensitivity with import at compilation. Because I run Debian in Docker on Mac, Python does not enforce case-sensitivity (it's Debian) but the filesystem is not case sensitive, so import does not distinguish cases. One of my dependencies uses `queue`, which internally imports `Queue`. Without case-sensitivity, it causes circular import, where `queue` imports itself. There are others reporting this type of issue: <https://forums.docker.com/t/python-import-source-files-from-docker-volumns-can-not-distinct-upper-lower-cases-in-lib-name/20527> . I worked around this with a very ugly hack, by appending the path of `Queue` at the front of `sys.path` right before a call that results in `queue` getting imported, and then I delete the path from `sys.path` after. I only need this for development so it seems to be OK.

I’d be shocked if there’s a case mistake in the python standard library. It was Queue in Python 2, and is queue in Python 3 - are you sure perhaps it’s not an issue of the python version?

Looks like there is some platform-specific case-handling behavior (PEP 235) and it predates things like Docker, so maybe it's not surprising it gets confused

Right but the general issue for people using Docker on Mac is that it’s “Linux” so the file system isn’t case-sensitive. This isn’t so much a Docker issue as an issue of people being exposed to a case-sensitive file-system

<@Junita> btw, do you know anything about best practice for using environment vars in Django? It’s very easy with Laravel, pulling the env vars from a .env file… But django doenst seem to do it that way. So far, I have just placed an env.py file in the root of the project, and imported it into my settings.py.

I also found that it helped to avoid various flask extensions, because they would usually mean dragging in a further dependency on the `app` object to implement whatever behavior the extension added

<@Beula> Well, my current code works, _but_ I'm making use of `from models import *` and using any other method of import fails. I heard that importing like that should generally always be avoided though. I'm not entirely sure why that is (yet) so I'm not sure if it's worth fussing over or if I might as well continue with it as is.

<@Gabriele> I'm using several Flask extensions, but I suppose the issue in this case comes from Flask-SQLAlchemy specifically. I'm wondering why the extensions exist if they're so prone to these problems though? Is the user just expected to use an app factory pattern? I'm surprised that even the most basic Flask tutorials seem to have this issue. The first tutorial I ever did wouldn't run due to a circular import error, even though the tutorial didn't mention any error and seemed to produce the correct results of the app running as if there was no error.

<@Gabriele> To be frank the reason I'm using the extension is because it seemed a lot more straightforward to use than SQLAlchemy by itself. Guess I'll have to choose between app factory and that.
