Replacing keyring's extension modules
Benji York
that keyring now uses for Gnome keyring and KDE wallet access with
pure Python modules that use the provided Gnome and KDE Python
interfaces instead. He liked the idea and wanted me to promulgate it
here to see if anyone else had input. I expect to be able to write
the code this week or next.

The idea is interesting, the question is: how difficult to install are
those modules (for end-user)
PS Maybe it would be a good time to touch modules interface? I really
miss the ability to specify some label of password so - for example -
seahorse would present them reasonably. Not all backends handle such
label, but some do.

Most Gnome or KDE desktop users will have the interfaces installed by
default, so most end-users won't have to do anything to install them.
I'm sure that any distro that doesn't include them by default will have
packages the user can install.

I suggest changing one thing at a time. If we go ahead with this change
I will preserve the existing interface and the next version can add
enhancements.
