Title:
  Failures happen at random points in the code when GNOME keyring is
  active but not accessible

Status in Python Keyring:
  New
Status in “python-keyring” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python-keyring

  These situations all have in common that the GNOME keyring is active (so keyring tries to use it instead of falling back to KWallet or a file on disk), but when it comes time to actually use the keyring, something goes wrong:
  a) the keyring turns out to be inaccessible, causing an error.
  b) the keyring claims it can't find a key, even though it didn't look (the keyring was never unlocked, so it couldn't have looked).
  c) the keyring library crashes when trying to write a new key to the keyring.
  d) the keyring hangs when it should be presenting a GUI for unlocking the keyring
