Title:
  breaks application when Gtk3 is also used

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

Bug description:
  keyring imports the gnomekeyring module, which uses gtk2.

  This breaks any Gtk3 applications in which it is loaded.

  Python 2.7.2+ (default, Oct  4 2011, 20:06:09) 
  [GCC 4.6.1] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import keyring
  >>> from gi.repository import GOBject
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
      from ._gi import _API, Repository
  ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: ImportError('When using gi.repository you must not import static modules like "gobject". Please change all occurrences of "import gobject" to "from gi.repository import GObject".',))

  I'm not sure what the best solution is to work around this - it seems
  pretty hard to determine if the current application is a gtk2 or gtk3
  app, especially if keyring is imported before Gtk. It would be nice if
  there was at least some way of disabling the GNOME backend for
  keyring, so applications that are aware of this issue can work around
  it.
