KeePass command line application

KPCLibPy is a KeePass command application written in Python.

The original KeePass by Dominik Reichl is a .NET application written in C#. KeePassLib is part of KeePass which can be built as a library to support the major functions of KeePass. However, at the moment, KeePassLib is still built for .NET framework which can run on Windows only. I modified KeePassLib and extended it as a .NET Standard library - KPCLib. KPCLib stands for KeePass Portable Class Library at the time when I started the work. Portable Class Library (PCL) is replaced by .NET Standard Library nowadays.

KPCLibPy is just a Python wrapper of KPCLib using Python.NET. In this perspective, KPCLibPy is fully compatible to the original KeePass, since the majority of code is the same as KeePass.

In order to save the development effort and have a nice user interface, the Python library python-nubia from Facebook is used as the framework to support command line interface.

Docker image

A Dockr image - docker-mono can be used on Linux or Windows 10 (WSL).

Configuration

The default location for database files is at $HOME/.kpclibdb (or %USERPROFILE%.kpclibdb on Windows). To change the default location, a configuration file kpclibpy.ini can be created in the folder $HOME/.kpclibdb. .. code:

[DEFAULT]
homepath = {your data path}
