Supports JSON secrets for both service account and OAuth.
Files are stored in ~/.google/<name>.json.
This is intended to be imported to get credentials, that given a script name, will know where to find the secrets and automatically cache the credentials so we can easily run command-line scripts with cached credentials to the various Google APIs.
Ideally, a script should just have to do something like this:
import gapis
...
creds = gapis.get_credentials('my-script-unique-key')
service = discovery.build(..., credentials=creds)
Clients just have to download the corresponding secrets files to their
~/.google directory, under the name for their script, e.g.,
my-script-unique-key.json.
This should work for both OAuth and Service Accounts.
I found myself replicating bad, incomplete versions of this all over the place over the years. This is intended to be an as-simple-as-possible library that I use in common for all those scripts.
I think something like this ought to exit inside the google.auth project.
