Python-decouple raises a warning while importing in settings.py? [PYTHON DJANGO]

[USING PYCHARM]

I'm trying to use .env file details in settings.py using python-decouple. decouple installed perfectly but when I tried to import it, it raises a warning: Package containing module 'decouple' is not listed in project requirements. you can see the package details from here: https://pypi.org/project/python-decouple/3.1/

warning i'm getting while importing decouple

error in terminal : raise UndefinedValueError('{} not found. Declare it as envvar or define a default value.'.format(option))

decouple.UndefinedValueError: EMAIL_BACKEND not found. Declare it as envvar or define a default value.

.env file

export EMAIL_BACKEND=django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend
export EMAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
export [email protected]
export EMAIL_USE_TLS=True
export EMAIL_PORT=587
export EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxx;

settings.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = config('EMAIL_BACKEND')
EMAIL_HOST = config('EMAIL_HOST')
EMAIL_HOST_USER = config('EMAIL_HOST_USER')
EMAIL_USE_TLS = config('EMAIL_USE_TLS')
EMAIL_PORT = config('EMAIL_PORT')
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = config('EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD')

I tried creating requirements.txt and added python-decouple==3.3 in it but it still not working. one more thing i'm using pipenv package was that can be the issue?

Change your .env file to

EMAIL_BACKEND=django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend
EMAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
[email protected]
EMAIL_USE_TLS=True
EMAIL_PORT=587
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxx;

Remove export keywords from your .env file.
