Disclaimers

• This is an early stage project. There are still some things to tweak, and although I've done quite a bit of testing, I can't guarantee everything that works on my machine will work on yours. Always back up your data to multiple places to avoid data loss.
• If you find any issues, please contact me... or get your hands dirty and raise a PR!

Structure

• Data is stored in {thisDirectory}/settings.json
• Logs are written to {thisDirectory}/log/{logName}

Installation

  pip install securedata

Configuration

• To choose where all data will be stored (settings.json and, by default, logs), use

securedata config

• To choose where logs will be stored, edit settings.json and set path_log to the full path to the log folder.

Examples

setItem

import securedata

securedata.setItem("employee", "Tyler", "salary", 100000)

results in this structure in settings.json:

{
    "employee": {
        "Tyler": {
            "salary": 100000
        }
    }
}

getItem

# test.py

import securedata

print(securedata.getItem("employee", "Tyler", "salary")) # given example settings.json above

> python3 test.py
> 100000
