Fabric: Unable to get environment variables in virtualenv

I have a Django project that works in a virtual environment. There is also a line export ENV=stagingin the .bashrcfile. And in the settings, I'm trying to read this with os.getenv('ENV'), but it returns None.

settings_staging.py

...
ENV = os.getenv('ENV')
...

.bashrc

...
export ENV=staging
...

Error

[dev.gipi] out:   File "/home/ubuntu/projects/deeyoon/settings/settings.py", line 61, in <module>
[dev.gipi] out:     raise Exception('Environment variable ENV is requried!')
[dev.gipi] out: Exception: Environment variable ENV is requried!

What can cause the problem or what is going wrong?

A common problem is that the .bashrc file is never executed. Enter envand check if the variable ENV is present.

There is another case where the fabric ignores .bashrc. Often .bashrc contains the following line:

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return
