NTSM - Vault & Utilities

PyPI Version Supported Python Versions Documentation Status License: MIT Project Status: Beta

The NTSM package serves as a central hub for GIS teams, providing a consistent and secure method for managing sensitive credentials across various platforms. Its primary objective is to eliminate hardcoded secrets and unify the connectivity patterns for frequently used APIs like ArcGIS Online or MSAL.

Disclaimer & Attribution

This project is an evolved library that incorporates various third-party code snippets and open-source logic. While primary development and architecture are steered by the author(s), many components have been refined, optimized, and adjusted using different AI agents to meet specific production requirements.

Note

This package is a “transition and backward compatibility” version and not yet a stable release; it should be used with appropriate caution.

Key Features

  • Vault Security: AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 key derivation.

  • Standardized Connections: Unified interface for ArcGIS, MSAL and more.

  • Productivity Utilities: Standardized logging, file handling, archiving, and more.

Installation

Install the latest version from PyPI:

pip install ntsm

Quick Start

from ntsm.conn import vault
# Initialize vault via environment variable
v = vault(key_env="GIS_KEY")

from ntsm.lib import setup_logging
logger = setup_logging("my_app", "./logs")
logger.info("Application started")

Module Examples

Secure Vault (aeadencrypt)

Modern encryption for sensitive data.

from ntsm.aeadencrypt import VaultCipher
v = VaultCipher(key_name="MY_KEY")
encrypted = v.encrypt("secret message")
decrypted = v.decrypt(encrypted)

# Legacy AES-128-CBC
from ntsm.aeadencrypt import VaultUtils
enc = VaultUtils.encrypt_text("hello", "secret")

Connections (conn)

Easy access to common services.

from ntsm.conn import agol, msal

# ArcGIS Online
gis = agol(url="https://nt.maps.arcgis.com", user="u", password="p")

# MSAL Email
mail = msal(tenant_id="...", client_id="...", client_email="...", client_secret="...")

Library Utilities (lib)

A wide range of helper functions and classes.

from ntsm.lib import Files, Archive, FormatTime

# File & Folder management
Files.copy_dir("src", "dst")
Archive.make_zip("data")

# Time helpers
from datetime import datetime
t_str = FormatTime.to_str(datetime.now())

Package Structure

  • ntsm.aeadencrypt: VaultCipher (AES-256-GCM), VaultUtils (Legacy support).

  • ntsm.conn: vault, agol, token, msal, and more.

  • ntsm.lib: Email, Files, Archive, setup_logging, timer_wrap, and more.
