Add a passwordeval config option to support cli password managers like pass.

An option like offlineimap's remotepasseval or msmtp's passwordeval would be nice and work really well with password managers like http://www.passwordstore.org/.

Please ignore my last comment (which I deleted), as I got an email about exactly this feature for pycarddav, I didn't look properly and wrote the answer to that request here.

Would it make more sense to provide a global option for this instead of per-storage ones?

[imba3r]

You mean providing the command as a global option, and per storage only the query for that command?

If that's what you mean it could lead to problems. Pass for example uses arbitrary text files, so for some passwords your might have to do some grep | cut action which could be different for each account.

[untitaker]

I see... i thought i could just ask for one command which would take a hostname and username.

[imba3r]

I'm using a small wrapper script around pass anyways, so for me that would work. If that's the cleaner way I would go for it. People who use cli password managers should be able to write such a script in no time ;).

[untitaker]

I'm fine with either option. But i won't implement it myself, as i don't really need it. IOW, patches welcome :)

[imba3r]

Okay, if I find time on the weekend I will give it a shot then.

Hey @vimbaer just coming back to this: Is there any help you need implementing this feature or is it just lack of time? Send me a mail or write here.

[imba3r]

Hey, lack of time for the most part. I have not forgotten it ;). I can't promise you a specific date, but I would like to do it when I find the time - if that's okay for you.

[imba3r]

Hey, I finished implementing passwordeval as general section option called with username & host. Only the test's for it are missing, will finish them soon.

[untitaker]

This is great!

On a related note, i'd like to remove the keyring support in favor of this more generic solution. Is anybody opposed to that?

[geier]

No, please go ahead.
