Dynaconf Object Access Fails After Loading Configuration from S3 Unless Iterated Over

I'm encountering a strange issue while loading TOML configuration files from an AWS S3 bucket into a Dynaconf object in Python.

Here's a simplified version of the code I'm using:

import os
import boto3
from dynaconf import Dynaconf

def load_settings(template_name: str) -> Dynaconf:
    s3 = boto3.client("s3")
    key = f"{template_name}.toml"
    obj = s3.get_object(Bucket="my_bucket", Key=key)
    toml_str = obj["Body"].read().decode("utf-8")

    temp_file = f"{template_name}.toml"

    # Write the TOML string to the temporary file

    with os.fdopen(fd, "w") as file:
        file.write(toml_str)

    settings = Dynaconf(
        envvar_prefix="DYNACONF",
        environments=True,
        settings_files=[temp_file]
    )
    
    # Iterating over the items
    for k, v in settings.items():
        print(k, v)

    # Now I can access the values
    print(settings.my_value)

    os.remove(temp_file)
    return settings

The problem arises when I try to directly access a value from the settings object (for example, settings.my_value) after loading the configuration from the S3 bucket. This direct access fails unless I previously iterate over the items in settings.

Expected behavior: I should be able to directly access a value from the settings object without first iterating over all the items.

Actual behavior: Direct access fails with an error message stating that the requested key doesn't exist, unless I first iterate over the items in settings.

This is particularly puzzling because if I comment out the iteration over the items in settings, the print statement fails, stating that 'my_value' doesn't exist. But, if I leave the iteration in place, the print statement succeeds.

Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there something about how Dynaconf loads or accesses data that I'm missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: even better, give me a guideline on what would be the proper way of loading a remote settings file.
