Use a config file instead of hard-coded passwords.

Hello! I just opened the sources and first thing I see is a hard-coded "CHANGEME" password. I don't doubt this probably works fine for you, but here's my approach on the subject.

You can open a .json file and get your settings here and add this JSON file to your .gitignore. You can also use environment variables, but it seems a bit overkill for a Python script.

This way, the password doesn't run the risk of being exposed when changes are made to the sources.

Have a nice day!
