Ah, my mistake. I was under the impression that it was missing,

related to gnome-python2-desktop (

be
built with gnome-desktop3? Not sure I understand GNOME packaging
interdependencies yet, but I miss my old python keyring library.
Hi,
I'd never heard of it before now, but I looked into it briefly out of
curiosity. Turns out gnome-python2-desktop (called gnome-python-desktop
upstream) contains old-style manual Python bindings to various old
GNOME 2 stuff. These have all been obsoleted for a very long time by
PyGObject; the upstream git repo was archived five years ago. It's
totally unrelated to gnome-desktop3 (called gnome-desktop upstream),
which is an important GNOME module that just happens to have a
confusingly-similar name.
gnome-python2-gnomekeyring in particular contains old bindings for the
gnome-keyring library, which is also long deprecated. The modern way to
access the keyring is to use libsecret via PyGObject:
