# Gnome Keyring in Python
# Shows how to store credentials of type NETWORK_PASSWORD using python.
# Found on <http://www.rittau.org/blog/20070726-01>
# More on the GNOME Keyring: <http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring>

# alternatively have a look at the new universal and actively developed Python Keyring:
# on <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring> and <http://home.python-keyring.org/>

# another small piece of nice python code: gkeyring (Can retreive all the data stored in the keyring...)
