Suppose you have this code:
import dotenv
import json
key = "KEY_TO_SAVE"
value = json.dumps({"test": "me"})
dotenv.set_key(".env", key, value)What I would expect to see is a .env file that looks like this:
KEY_TO_SAVE="{\"test\": \"me\"}"
However what I actually see is this:
KEY_TO_SAVE="{"test": "me"}"
Because of the lack of escaping quote character, dotenv has effectively changed the value I was trying to set. In this case, the value passed to dotenv is valid JSON, but the value dotenv saves to the file is not valid JSON.
