Reading password DataItems using Python SDK

I'm using the HTML GUI SDK to save persistent password fields. It seems that on the back-end, Alteryx encrypts the values the user enters in when it saves them in its XML format. From the Python SDK, the pi_init() method gets a string representation of this XML file, however I don't seem to see a way on how to decrypt these fields, I'm only able to access their encrypted form but this is not useful to me. Is there an API method that I'm missing?
