hardcoded 0.15.0

For everything that you really should not be hardcoding.

This package wants to replace your hardcoded.password, your hardcoded.api_key, actually hardcoded("Everything you really shouldn't be hardcoding").

Try it!

To move a hardcoded value from your code to an external file, use hardcoded.foo as if it was holding your value already.

import hardcoded
print(hardcoded.foo)

How does it work?

On running the code, this will happen:

• if an environment variable exist with exactly the same name ("foo" in our example), the value of that environment variable is returned
• if a .env file exists in the current or any parent directory with the variable ("foo" in our example), the value of that .env variable is returned
• otherwise, hardcoded will find a file holding your data
  • if you initialised hardcoded as hardcoded.File(path='secrets.yml'), secrets.yml is used
  • if you are running code inside a git repository, .hardcoded.yml is used, at the root of the repository (next to .git/)
  • otherwise, ~/.config/hardcoded.yml is used
  • if the file is encrypted:
    • with GPG, then hardcoded interfaces with your GPG installation (possibly using the gpg-agent)
    • if symmetric encryption was used:
      • if a password was cached, it is used to decrypt the data
      • if Apple Keychain is available, a password is requested to decrypt the data
      • if running interactively, you will be asked for a decryption password
  • the (decrypted if needed) YAML data is loaded
  • if "foo" is a key in the YAML, the value of that key is returned
  • if "foo" does not exist in the YAML yet:
    • if not running interactively (stdin is not an open TTY), a KeyError is raised
    • if running interactively, you are asked to input the value
      • if encryption is requested with hardcoded.File(secret=True), the YAML is encrypted:
        • if GPG is available, the YAML is GPG encrypted with a key of your choosing
        • if Apple Keychain is available, a random password is generated and stored in the keychain
        • otherwise, you are asked for a new password
• the value of foo is returned to your code
