Nice use of sha256. We also use it in our .env.vault mechanism - successor to .env files.

Have you seen python-dotenv-vault - different use case than what you are doing here, but as a fellow cryptography fan, you might find it interesting intellectually:

@dotenv Very nice, I had not seen the dotenv vault functionality, it is a separate use case but it does address a challenge we have with keeping .env files in-sync across our smaller teams. I love the idea of committing encrypted environment variables to the repo with a .env.vault file and only needing to manage the DOTENV_KEY. 😃 Thanks for sharing this and amazing work on the Dotenv ecosystem! ❤️
