getsecret

Reads credentials from a file .getsecret.yaml

Install

pip install getsecret

Using

Create a file .getsecret.yaml. It should be in YAML format. An example follows:

username: foobar
password: supersecret

Now you can access those variables in your code as follows:

from getsecret import getsecret
username = getsecret('username')
password = getsecet('password')

Now the values of username and password are the ones specified in .getsecret.yaml (foobar and supersecret, respectively).

The file .getsecret.yaml can be located in the working directory (./.getsecret.yaml), or at the user's home directory (~/.getsecret.yaml)

If you pass an additional parameter, it will be used as the default if the key is not found in .getsecret.yaml. For example, the following will look for the username key in .getsecret.yaml, and will default to root if it is not found:

from getsecret import getsecret
username = getsecret('username', 'root')
