I’m new to pydantic, I want to use it for Settings management in my app, I have a monorepo with some overrides. I wonder what is the “Pydantic” way of initializing the Settings class with a dynamic list of .env files.

My initial thought was to pass it in the ctor, but I’ve seen few opinions advising against using ctor with Pydantic.

the functionality I want to achieve is something like:

AppSettings that will contain:

UtilsSettings
DataAccessSettings

all of the 3 will be have a dedicated static default values file and I wish to have another file that will be loaded dynamically and can override the defaults.
