Thanks all.
As I had a dedicated keychain instead of the standard one called 'login', I added that to the example from @YusDyr and omitted the '-g' as it not needed.
import subprocess
def get_password_from_keychain(keychain, service, account):
command = f"/usr/bin/security find-generic-password -w -s '{service}' -a '{account}' '{keychain}'"
result = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True)
password = result.stdout.decode().strip()
return password
