Note: This project is an unofficial fork of
pycookiecheat that adds support
for cookies stored by the Slack desktop app (see
#39). It has been
published as a separate package (pycookiecheat-slack) on PyPI to allow use
as a dependency. The module name remains pycookiecheat for simplicity,
so installing one will overwrite the other.
NB: Use pip and python instead of pip3 and python3 if you're still
on Python 2 and using pycookiecheat < v0.4.0. pycookiecheat >= v0.4.0 requires
Python 3.5+, and may soon go to 3.6+.
python3 -m pip install pycookiecheat-slackSee #12. Chrome is now
using a few different keyrings to store your Chrome Safe Storage password,
instead of a hard-coded password. Pycookiecheat doesn't work with most of these
so far, and to be honest my enthusiasm for adding support for ones I don't use
is limited. However, users have contributed code that seems to work with some
of the recent Ubuntu desktops. To get it working, you may have to sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev python-gi python3-gi, and if you're installing into a
virtualenv (highly recommended), you need to use the --system-site-packages
flag to get access to the necessary libraries.
Alternatively, some users have suggested running Chrome with the
--password-store=basic or --use-mock-keychain flags.
git clone https://github.com/n8henrie/pycookiecheat.gitcd pycookiecheatpython3 -m venv .venv./.venv/bin/python -m pip install -e .[dev]from pycookiecheat import chrome_cookies
import requests
url = 'http://example.com/fake.html'
# Uses Chrome's default cookies filepath by default
cookies = chrome_cookies(url)
r = requests.get(url, cookies=cookies)
Use the cookie_file keyword-argument to specify a different filepath for the
cookies-file: chrome_cookies(url, cookie_file='/abspath/to/cookies')
Keep in mind that pycookiecheat defaults to looking for cookies for
Chromium, not Google Chrome, so if you're using the latter, you'll need to
manually specify something like
"/home/username/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies" as your cookie_file.
I don't use Windows or have a PC, so I won't be adding support myself. Feel free to make a PR :)
cryptography module on OS X(pycookiecheat <v0.4.0)
If you're getting this
error
and using Homebrew, then you need to follow the instructions for Building
cryptography on OS
X
and export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include" and try again.
cryptography module on LinuxPlease check the official cryptography docs. On some systems (e.g. Ubuntu), you
may need to do something like sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev prior to installing with pip.
On KDE, Chrome defaults to using KDE's own keyring, KWallet. For pycookiecheat to support KWallet the dbus-python package must be installed.
