kdewallet 1.0.1

kdewallet interface

This is a simple project that wraps the kwallet-query command. It was made to be flexible you can use whichever syntax suites your fancy the way that kde structures their password storage is wallet name -> folder name -> entry name

you can install this package via PyPI

pip install kdewallet

this module can be used in 3 ways here's a quick overview

from kdewallet import KDEWallet
my_pw = KDEWallet.wallet.folder.entry
my_pw = KDEWallet[wallet][folder][entry]
# or mix n match
my_pw = KDEWallt[wallet].folder.[entry]


# these are the more procedural style options
my_pw = KDEWallet(wallet, folder).get_entry(entry)
my_pw = KDEWallet(wallet).get_entry(entry, folder=folder)

# setting is supported as well
KDEWallet.wallet.folder.entry = 'really secure'

For a more detailed example we'll assume we have two wallets just like this.

work       # wallet 1
  servera  # folder 1
    root   # entry 1 in folder 1
    userx  # etnry 2 in folder 1

  serverb
    userz
    usery

personal  # wallet 2
  gmail   # folder 1 in wallet 2
    frank # entry 1  
    maddy

  banking     # etc
    evil bank
    meh credit union

so given that setup of data some examples of how you might use this would be as follows

from kdewallet import KDEWallet
my_wallet = KDEWallet(wallet='work')
my_pw = my_wallet.get_entry(entry='root', folder='servera')
function_that_needs_password(my_pw)
other_pw = my_wallet.get_entry('frank', 'gmail', 'personal')
function_that_needs_password(other_pw)

This could use a bit more work still, but the core tests are passing most functionality seems to be working well enough for now. Not sure why I went mad with the alternate syntax styles but ya gotta have fun sometimes I guess.

Currently my todos for this project are:

• find if there is a more secure way to pass pw to kwallet-query than printf
• add defult wallet/folder support to object access
• make it clearer whats happening with properties
• write more rigorous tests
