tinynetrc 1.2.0

Read and write .netrc files.

Read and write .netrc files in Python.

tinynetrc uses the netrc module from the standard library under the hood and adds a few improvements:

• Adds write functionality.

• Fixes a std lib bug with formatting a .netrc file.*

• Parses .netrc into dictionary values rather than tuples.

*This bug is fixed in newer versions of Python.
