Ok, I'll have a look at it.

Yes, this is indeed possible. A full Linux installation can have both
KDE and GNOME installed completely. The key question is not "what is
installed" but "what is used by the user who is currently logged in".
The Python keyring library apparently solves this also automatically,
with the possibility to override it:
Configure your keyring lib
The python keyring lib contains implementations for several
backends, including OSX Keychain, Gnome Keyring, KDE Kwallet and
etc. The lib will automatically choose the keyring that is most
suitable for your current environment. You can also specify the
keyring you like to be used in the config file or by calling the
set_keyring() function.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring/
Probably we can look at the code and use the same mechanism to detect
the "most suitable" keyring - or link in the Python runtime and call the
Python keyring lib (not!).
