Configparser
https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html
A way to handle credentials properly in Python.
Remember: Put the credentials file in your .gitignore.
Example config.cfg
:
[some-db-service]
user = user
pass = password
host = db_host
port = 3306
database = database
[some-api-service]
user = user
pass = pass
token = token
import configparser
from typing import Union
from logger import logger
CONFIG_FILE = "config.cfg"
class Handler:
def __init__(self):
self.config_file = CONFIG_FILE
self.config = configparser.ConfigParser()
def get_credentials(self, service: str) -> Union[dict, None]:
"""Returns the credentials in the config file of a given service"""
self.config.read(self.config_file)
try:
return self.config[service]
except KeyError:
logger.error("Could not read %s from %s", service, self.config_file)
return None
