This library reads and writes .netrc files.
Read a netrc file:
n = Netrc.read("sample.netrc")
If the file doesn't exist, Netrc.read will return an empty object.
Read the user's default netrc file ($HOME/.netrc on Unix;
%HOME%\_netrc on Windows):
n = Netrc.read
Look up a username and password:
user, pass = n["example.com"]
Write a username and password:
n["example.com"] = user, newpass
n.save
If you make an entry that wasn't there before, it will be appended to the end of the file. Sometimes people want to include a comment explaining that the entry was added automatically. You can do it like this:
n.new_item_prefix = "# This entry was added automatically\n"
n["example.com"] = user, newpass
n.save
Have fun!
