pyglobal 0.0.1

Avoiding clashes with other projects

Avoid clashes and add some small amount of security to your app with a scope

# settings.py
import pyglobal
import uuid

app_scope = 'MYAPP=' + str(uuid.uuid4())

def scope_get(key, default=None):
    return pyglobal.get(key, default, app_scope)

def scope_set(key, value)
    return pyglobal.set(key, value, app_scope)

pyglobal.scope_get = scope_get
pyglobal.scope_set = scope_set

pyglobal.set('SECRET_KEY', '!! Change !!', scope=app_scope)
scope_set('DATABASE_URL', 'http://')

Once again you can use in other files, but you would also need the scope to access.

# main.py
import pyglobal
import settings

secret = pyglobal.scope_get('SECRET_KEY')
db_url = pyglobal.get('DATABASE_URL', scope=settings.app_scope)

At some point code can always be disassembled, so this isn’t really secure. All scopes are is another level of obfuscation and a way to avoid global names from clashing with other projects.
