secret

✓ from decorative_secrets import secret

✗ from decorative_secrets import secret

Retrieve a secret from an environment variable using the @secret decorator.

import os os.environ['MY_SECRET_KEY'] = 'my-secret-value' from decorative_secrets import secret @secret('MY_SECRET_KEY') def get_secret(val): return val print(get_secret())

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe 'secret' decorator returns the secret value as the first argument to the decorated function. If you don't expect an argument, your function will receive an extra argument.

fix

Define your function with a parameter to accept the secret, e.g., `def func(secret_value):`.

affects: >=0.10.0

deprecatedThe 'from_env' backend (used with `@secret('KEY', from_env=True)`) is deprecated in favor of the default behavior where environment variable keys are automatically detected.

fix

Remove the `from_env=True` argument; just pass the environment variable name directly.

affects: >=0.12.0

gotchaUsing a period (.) in the key name may be misinterpreted as nesting. For example, 'my.secret' might be parsed as a path instead of a literal key.

fix

Use underscores or other characters instead of periods, or wrap the key in quotes and use explicit backend configuration.

affects: >=0.10.0
