title: Where to store secret keys and password in Python
body: <p>I have a small Python program, which uses a Google Maps API secret key.  I'm getting ready to check-in my code, and I don't want to include the secret key in SVN.  </p>
  
  <p>In the canonical PHP app you put secret keys, database passwords, and other app specific config in LocalSettings.php.  Is there a similar file/location which Python programmers expect to find and modify?</p>
