gkeyring is no longer maintained!
This tool relies on an obsolete Python2-only library and slowly reached the end of its life. As a replacement, you can have a look at secret-tool command included in the libsecret library or at the keyring library with a same-named command.
If you feel that gkeyring should be resurrected and modernized, please fork this project and work on your improvements. I'll gladly redirect people to your new version.
A small Python tool for shell access to GNOME keyring. It provides simple querying for and creating of keyring items.
There are some distribution packages you can use:
You can install this tool from PyPI (using pip, setuptools or distutils):
