Kees, when you have some time can we get your opinion on the python-
keyring module? Specifically this concern noted by Martin:

The main problem that I see here is that it's handling a lot of
passwords, and doesn't use any kind of mlock()-like protection anywhere.
So passwords are copied around a lot and get easily written to disk
unencrypted, once this gets into swap.

Feel free to ping benji for a walk through the code.
