Hi -
I wrote a simple py script to basically act as a password json repository. Yes, I'm aware I could accomplish this is many different ways (even with a simple text file instead of a json file), but I wanted to practice my json syntax and regex.
Basically, the script has 3 parts.
-1st asks for some site (this is the key in the json dict) and then for the password value.
-2nd The json file should open and a simple re.search looks to match the password entered with some json element. It prints the site name and the password
-3rd if none is found the script appends the site and the password to the json file.
here is my script
[inline]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pwkpr0.py", line 69, in <module>
pull_file()
File "pwkpr0.py", line 37, in pull_file
file_contents = json.load(f)
[/inline]
I figured I'd have some debugging to do, but I couldn't figure this out.
