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 settings.json (in ~/securedata by default)
• Logs are written to ~/securedata/log by default

Installation

  python3 -m pip install securedata

Configuration

• To choose where settings.json is stored, 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

from securedata import securedata

securedata.setItem("employee", "Tyler", "salary", 7.25)

results in this structure in settings.json:

{
    "employee": {
        "Tyler": {
            "salary": 7.25
        }
    }
}

getItem

from securedata import securedata

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

> python3 test.py
> 7.25

log

from securedata import securedata

# writes to a file named LOG_DAILY YYYY-MM-DD in the default log folder (or securedata.getItem('path_log')) inside a YYYY-MM-DD folder
securedata.log("Dear Diary...")
securedata.log("This function hit a breakpoint", level="debug")
securedata.log("Looks like the server is on fire", level="critical")
securedata.log("This is fine", level="info")

# writes to a file named LOG_TEMPERATURE
securedata.log("30", logName="LOG_TEMPERATURE")

# writes to a file named LOG_TEMPERATURE in /home/pi/weather
securedata.log("30", logName="LOG_TEMPERATURE", filePath="/home/pi/weather")
