It's a 1 liner to set up the connection in this story if you want to 
hard-code it in Python, and by implementing it as a property, you can 
get the connection string from any place you want, including environment 
variables or whatever else your Python code can get to. This cuts the 
whole debate about where the connection string should come from short, 
as you can code whatever you want yourself.

This has an example of the utility setup:
