kryptic-daemon-client

The Kryptic daemon client for Python. During development startup it asks the local Kryptic daemon for the current project's secrets and puts them into os.environ. Outside development it is a no-op. It never raises - no daemon just means your app starts with the environment it already has.

pip install kryptic-daemon-client

import kryptic
kryptic.inject()  # call before any os.environ reads

import os
db_url = os.environ["DATABASE_URL"]  # now populated

Django (manage.py, before django.setup()):

import kryptic
kryptic.inject()

Works with Django, FastAPI, Flask, and anything else that reads os.environ.

• No-op when ENVIRONMENT/ENV/PYTHON_ENV/APP_ENV is production/staging, or KRYPTIC_DISABLED=true.
• Finds kryptic.json by walking up from the working directory.
• Never overwrites environment variables that are already set.
• Configuration via env vars: KRYPTIC_PROJECT_ID, KRYPTIC_ENV, KRYPTIC_SOCKET_PATH, KRYPTIC_TIMEOUT_MS (default 2000), KRYPTIC_SILENT.
• Works on macOS/Linux (unix sockets) and Windows (named pipes).
