[Bug 1077533] Re: pydoc complains it cant get into my gnome-keyring

[Moses Moore]

Yes, I'm using a non-GNOME desktop.  No, this is not a duplicate bug; if
that other bug is solved it would only obfuscate this bug.

My concern is that an application that should walk through only local
unencrypted files is asking for access to the GNOME keyring.  I expect
the GNOME keyring is only needed for private and personal information,
and pydoc should be accessing python modules that are not encrypted for
my use only, nor are hosted by some remote gatekeeper asking for proof
of my identity.

I would be very upset if, when attempting to read a book cover on my
living room bookshelf, the bookshelf carps at me that it can't find my
wallet.  Fixing bug 932177 may permit my bookshelf to rifle through my
wallet... when my wallet should be irrelevant to the entire exercise.

Title:
  pydoc complains it cant get into my gnome-keyring

Status in “python-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  $ pydoc -k cheezburger
  No handlers could be found for logger "OpenGL.Tk"
  WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /run/user/moses/keyring-XXXXXX/pkcs11: No such file or directory

  I can't only think of one good and not-scary reason why pydoc needs my
  authentication credentials when it should be searching text files on
  the local harddrive -- if I had an network filesystem on autofs
  somewhere in Python's sys.path -- but I do not.

  I expect pydoc's '-k' would search the .__doc__ for modules in the
  following directories:

  $ python -c 'import sys; print repr(sys.path)' |sed 's/, /,\n /g'
