How to disable python-dotenv

[matthewfranglen]

Quite a lot of packages use this library. I have an .env file which I use for a different purpose and cannot be parsed by python-dotenv. I get a lot of messages like:

Python-dotenv could not parse statement starting at line 1
Python-dotenv could not parse statement starting at line 2

Is there an environmental variable that I can set that will disable python-dotenv?

I am not asking about a specific library as I've already encountered this error in flask, pipenv and nltk. Since this library deals with the environment already I think having an environmental variable to disable it is not unreasonable.
