# env.py 

This describes how to use secrets in an environment. 

It's nice to be able to share your source code without the passwords.

This can be done by configuring the passwords on your environment. 

Just to prevent your password to show up in some log or so it's base64 encoded and uses the key 'SECRET' instead of password.

This is what I have made for that:

## Usage in other projects
```
import env 
password = env.secret 

# password now contains the base64 decoded secret.
```

## Create a secret variable
1. execute `python3 env.py`
2. enter password when asked
3. copy this source in your `~/.bashrc` 
```bash
export SECRET="your-base64-encoded-password-made-with-env.py"
```
## Source
```python
# (C) Retoor

secret = None

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import base64
    secret = input("Type password: ")
    print(base64.b64encode(secret.encode()).decode())
else:
    import os
    import base64
    try:
        secret = base64.b64decode(os.getenv("SECRET","").encode()).decode()
    except:
        pass
```
