secretspec (Python SDK)

Python bindings for SecretSpec, a declarative secrets manager. This package is a thin client over a pyo3 extension that calls secretspec::resolve_json directly: resolution (providers, chains, profiles, generation, as_path) happens in the Rust core, so the SDK inherits every provider with no Python-side logic.

from secretspec import SecretSpec

resolved = (
    SecretSpec.builder()
    .with_provider("keyring://")
    .with_profile("production")
    .with_reason("boot web app")
    .load()
)

print(resolved.provider, resolved.profile)
db = resolved.secrets["DATABASE_URL"]
print(db.get)              # the value, or the file path for as_path secrets
resolved.set_as_env()      # export everything into os.environ

A missing required secret raises MissingRequiredError; any other failure raises SecretSpecError (with a stable .kind).

Scopes (0.17+)

Use .with_scope("api") to resolve only a named [scopes.api] subset. Both resolved.scope and report.scope return the selected scope:

resolved = SecretSpec.builder().with_scope("api").load()

Cleanup

as_path secrets are materialized to temp files that outlive the call. Use the result as a context manager (with SecretSpec.builder()...load() as resolved:) or call resolved.close() when done so the secret files do not accumulate.

Value-free report

report() returns the inventory/preflight view: per-secret status and provenance, never a value. Unlike load(), it does not raise when a required secret is missing — it appears as a SecretReport with status "missing_required".

report = SecretSpec.builder().with_profile("production").report()
for s in report.secrets:
    print(s.name, s.status, s.required)

Native library

The Rust resolver is statically linked into a compiled pyo3 extension (secretspec._native, built from the secretspec-py-native crate) inside the installed wheel, so there is nothing to locate at runtime. The prebuilt abi3 wheels are self-contained (pip install secretspec). From a source checkout the extension is built on demand by the test harness via maturin develop, which needs maturin and a Rust toolchain on PATH.
