How to get 'site_config.json' settings in Python code?

Frappe Framework App Development
1

I have a custom script that needs to know the endpoint address of a remote API.

I neither want to hard code it into the script itself, nor have to read it from a file.

Is site_config.json the correct place to put such things?

How does my Python code get at it, once I put it there?

Hah! Got it!

I simply did …

cd ${HOME}/frappe-bench;
grep -r encryption_key

… and found what I wanted in apps/frappe/frappe/utils/password.py

frappe.local.conf.encryption_key

It doesn’t answer whether there is a preferred place to put such things though.

Oh cool!

Yeah, that is useful!

(btw. These posts where I ask a question and immediately answer it are … notes to my self? I figure if I can’t immediately Google the answer I need, I’m likely not the first, or the last. So, it might save someone else some time)
