how to supply password to smb backend?

[hutch3232]

I'm trying to use rclone.create_remote with the remote_type "smb".

Per the docs: https://rclone.org/smb/

--smb-pass
SMB password.

NB Input to this must be obscured - see [rclone obscure](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_obscure/).

Properties:

Config: pass
Env Var: RCLONE_SMB_PASS
Type: string
Required: false

The command line argument to supply the password is pass. Since that is a reserved keyword in python, I can't supply pass as a kwarg to rclone.create_remote. Any ideas for how to accomplish this?

I used:

    rclone.create_remote(remote_name, RemoteTypes.ftp, **{'host':host, 'user':username, 'pass':password})

Not sure if it worked yet though as I'm stuck on another problem now.
