This is a simple python package for interfacing with systemd's LoadCredential mechanism. It allows reading secrets from the credentials directory, with a fallback on environment variables if needed.

from loadcredential import Credentials

credentials = Credentials()

secret1 = credentials["SECRET_1"]

• Added credentials.get(key, default=None) which returns a default value and does not raise an error when the key is absent
• Added credentials.get_json(key, default = None) which treats the imported secret as json data
