Package: python-keyring
Version: 0.5.1-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
tl;dr: scripts which relied in the Gnome keyring might now fail if the
python-gnomekeyring module is not installed.
Long story:
I have a piece of code which was dependent on python-keyring and
python-keyring-gnome and all was smooth: the default keyring was the
Gnome one and I didn't have to do anything.
Since the update to 0.5.1, I removed the obsolete package
python-keyring-gnome and then, my script started to fail because it
couldn't find the password I had in my keyring.
The problem occurs to be that the default keyring switched to
`keyring.backend.CryptedFileKeyring`, as revealed by
`keyring.get_keyring()`.
I first thought that I now had to configure manually the keyring system
so that it will use the Gnome one, but once I configured the
~/keyringrc.cfg file, I got this error:
>>> import keyring
>>> keyring.get_keyring()
<keyring.backend.GnomeKeyring object at 0xb7233dec>
>>> keyring.get_password('foo', 'bar')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/keyring/core.py", line 30, in
get_password
return _keyring_backend.get_password(service_name, username)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/keyring/backend.py", line 140, in
get_password
except gnomekeyring.NoMatchError:
NameError: global name 'gnomekeyring' is not defined
I thought that there was a bug in python-keyring, but it occurs that I
was just missing the python-gnomekeyring module, on which python-keyring
now relies on. I think the same problem happens for users which were
using the KDE keyring, though I'm not using it so I can't really say.
May I suggest you to add a 'Suggest: python-gnomekeyring' or something
like that to the python-keyring package?
I'm not really sure how to handle the upgrade process from the previous
version to this one, maybe you could figure a better plan, but I think
this could be the minimum to do.
Thanks,
Jonathan
