It's a higher level abstraction and I need to look at the GnomeKeyring attributes directly. You can do this with the old gnome-python2-gnomekeyring library, but the new GnomeKeyring (python-gobject/python3-gobject) returns a GLib.Array object for the attribute list, and I can't figure out any way to inspect the attributes from that in python (and it looks like I'm not the only one[1]).
