I am evaluating how well Doppler will integrate with our current technology stack and I noticed the Python SDK doesn’t appear to support creating secrets at all? If the Python SDK does not support creating secrets, what other ways can Python users create secrets in Doppler?

Hi @nishant!

Welcome to the Doppler Community!

You can definitely create secrets using the Python SDK! It can be a little confusing though because you use the [update](https://github.com/DopplerHQ/python-sdk/blob/main/src/dopplersdk/services/README.MD#update) operation to both update or create secrets. For setting secret notes, there’s a separate [update\_note](https://github.com/DopplerHQ/python-sdk/blob/main/src/dopplersdk/services/README.MD#update_note) API call you make.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
