Read and write .netrc files.

Project description

Latest version Travis-CI

Read and write .netrc files in Python.

tinynetrc uses the netrc module from the standard library under the hood and adds a few improvements:

  • Adds write functionality.

  • Fixes a std lib bug with formatting a .netrc file.*

  • Parses .netrc into dictionary values rather than tuples.

*This bug is fixed in newer versions of Python.

netrc = Netrc()  # parse ~/.netrc

netrc['api.heroku.com']['password']

# Modify an existing entry
netrc['api.heroku.com']['password'] = 'newpassword'
netrc.save()  # writes to ~/.netrc

# Add a new entry
netrc['surge.surge.sh'] = {
    'login': 'sloria1@gmail.com',
