A snippet to avoid hard coding user names and passwords in python scripts.

credentials_for_python

# If you hardcode usernames and passwords, you cannot check in the code to public git repositories.
# A solution I am using is to create a `credentials.json` file and storing the password there
# cerdentials.json :
# {
#   "user":"bharath",
#   "password":"bharath_secret_password"
# }
#
# add this file to .gitignore
#
# This file my be protected on apache web server using -
#	<Files ~ "\credentials.json$">
#		Require all denied
#	</Files>

import json

with open('credentials.json') as json_data:
    credentials = json.load(json_data)

login(username=credentials['user'] password=credentials['password']")
