Python KWallet sample usage (command line)
# I just wanted to find a simple way to store credentials in KWallet, and fetch it from
# a command line application. Here's how (assumes the credentials are already set):
def getCredentials():
from PyKDE4.kdeui import KWallet
from PyQt4 import QtGui
from PyQt4 import QtCore
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
wallet = KWallet.Wallet.openWallet(KWallet.Wallet.LocalWallet(), 0)
if not wallet.hasFolder("myapp"):
wallet.createFolder("myapp")
wallet.setFolder("myapp")
key, quname = wallet.readPassword('username')
key, qpass = wallet.readPassword('password')
return str(quname), str(qpass)
