upref 🐸

Upref is a small python module to grab and save some user data like login, password, url (mainly string data). After some projects, I want a simple method to find the right login and url from the user and save it in the personnal data of the user.

Installation

Installing upref with pip:

$ pip install upref

Basic Usage

Here is the first example. The code fetch the URL from the user parameter

import upref

user_data = upref.get_pref(
    {"url": {"label": "The application url"}},
    "example01")

print("URL is {}".format(user_data['url']))

This code create a file in the user folder. And this file will be read again during the next run.

url:
  label: The application url
  value: http://www.test.org/

Code example

import upref
data = upref.get_pref(
    {
        'login': {'label': "Your login"},
        'passwd': {'label': "Your secret password",
                'type': "Password"},
    },
    name="example02")
print("Your login is %s" % data['login'])
print("Your password (not so secret) is %s" % data['passwd'])

At the first execution, there is a window to grab the data. The second execution, there will be no windows, the data are only read from the file.

All data are saved in a yaml file at %APPDATA%/.upref/example02.conf or ~/.local/share/.upref/example02.conf.

login:
  label: Your login
  value: My login
passwd:
  label: Your secret password
  value: Password

Features

• Read and save small amount of data (url, login, )
• Small gui to ask data from the user
• Text option is avaible
