Using
dict.get('key') or Truemeans that key can never be False! Andin other cases, it's just clearer and more compact to use the default
parameter.
I ran into this when I was trying to disable TLS so I could use the Python SMTPd for debugging mail. TLS was always on, even when I set
MAIL_USE_TLS=in the config.env file. I eventually discovered that it was because that was turning into a True value after processing the file.Note that the behavior has also changed for
SSL_DISABLE, which is being compared to the string 'True'. If it was left blank asSSL_DISABLE=, then it would turn into True. Now it will register an empty string in the .env file as False.
