configparser-crypt 0.6.2

Drop-in replacement for ConfigParser with encryption support

configparser_crypt

Drop-In replacement for ConfigParser with encrypted ini file support

configparser_crypt is a drop-in replacement for configparser, that allows to read / write encrypted configuration files.

It is compatible with Python 3.5+ and is tested on both Linux and Windows.

Setup

pip install configparser_crypt

Usage

Just like configparser, except that we read/write binary files and have a AES key.

configparser example

-from configparser import ConfigParser
+from configparser_crypt import ConfigParserCrypt

file = 'config.ini'
-conf_file = ConfigParser()
+conf_file = ConfigParserCrypt()

# Add some values to the file
conf_file.add_section('TEST')
conf_file['TEST']['spam'] = 'eggs'

# Write config file
-with open(file, 'w') as file_handle:
-    conf_file.write(file_handle)
+with open(file, 'wb') as file_handle:
+    conf_file.write_encrypted(file_handle)

# Read from config file
-conf_file = ConfigParser()
-conf_file.read(file)
+conf_file = ConfigParserCrypt()
+conf_file.aes_key = secure_key
+conf_file.read_encrypted(file)

# Check that config file contains 'spam = eggs'
assert conf_file['TEST']['spam'] == 'eggs'
