Login prompt wrapper and DeGiro constructor function

[konpsar]

I had an idea to create a function that prompts for password (hiding it while typing), because I didn't like the idea to include my passwords in all .py scripts I used.

Added functions to _init_.py

• login_prompt(...)
• Constructor using login_prompt()

Notes

• login_prompt is a wrapper function of existing login() function
• Constructor was carefully created, in order not to brake older use cases.

Some use cases examples can be seen in examples.py which I've also updated.

Your feedback will be appreciated!

Embeding login into __init__ seems unnecessary (saving just one line of code), perhaps even a bit confusing. But as long as it doesn't break anything, no harm done.

The way I dealt with password is that I import it (and other "secret" things) from __secrets__.py, which is a file that I never commit to GitHub.

It's very easy to implement, and I think it gives me the right balance of security and convenience, assuming my PCs are secure and trusted.

Some other options are:

• place the secrets in a config file (.cfg) somewhere in your user home directory, and load them from there;
• use something like keyring to store your password securely in your OS credentials store (it works on all major platforms).

Thanks for the feedback! The ways you propose are more practical. I will integrate them to my pipelines.
