keyway 1.0.1

A solution for persistent environment variables.

Keyway

Persistent environment variables!

A simple solution to prevent accidentally uploading your API keys to GitHub. Functions similarly to normal environment variables, except the keys and values persist through restarts.

pip install keyway 

Import with

import keyway
kw = keyway.Keyway()

Set, access, and delete keys like a dictionary.

kw["alpha"] = "an api key"
kw["bravo"] = "a setting"
kw["charlie"] = 42

kw["alpha"]
#>> "an api key"

del kw["alpha"]

Missing keys return None.

kw["alpha"]
#>> None

Keys are not stored in memory.

kw.keys()
#>> dict_keys([])

To retrieve a dictionary of all of a user's keys, use the "all" keyword. All keys are stored as text for simplicity.

kw[all]
#>> {'bravo': 'a variable', 'charlie': '42'}

To delete all of a user's keys, use the "all" keyword.

del kw[all]
kw[all]
#>> {}

• By default, keys are stored in the active environment folder
  • Never upload your virtual environment to github.
  • Optionally set a custom path and/or database name like:

    • kw = keyway.Keyway(path = "your/custom/path", db_name = "custom_name")
      

  • You can also optionally set a user for the keyway instance:

    • kw = keyway.Keyway(user = "username")
      

• Keyway has no dependencies outside of the standard library.
