Example of usage

We strongly recommend you to use a virtual environment and install dependences from requirements.txt file.

Import secrets_safe_library

pip install -r ~/requirements.txt

By default urllib3 logs are not shown, If need to show them:

export URLLIB3_PROPAGATE=True

script example using library:

import  os
import  logging
from  secrets_safe_library  import  secrets_safe, authentication, utils, managed_account

logging.basicConfig(format  =  '%(asctime)-5s  %(name)-15s  %(levelname)-8s  %(message)s',

level  =  logging.DEBUG)

# logger object is optional but is strongly recommended
logger  =  logging.getLogger(LOGGER_NAME)

TIMEOUT_CONNECTION_SECONDS = 30
TIMEOUT_REQUEST_SECONDS = 30

CERTIFICATE = env['CERTIFICATE']
CERTIFICATE_KEY = env['CERTIFICATE_KEY']
