Mercurial: hggnome-keyring Extension
While surfing around I discovered a nice little Mercurial Extension: hgkeychain. Unfortunately it’s only for Mac. As Gnome has password management of it’s own, I looked there is someway to access it via Python. And there is!
So I wrote a quick extension myself: hggnome-keyring
It uses the usual yadda yadda for installing (see mercurial docs). Only drawback: Access to the keyring is determined by executable name, so any python programm is allowed to access those keys 
There are two first in this post:
- I used bitbucket.org to host the repo. It’s quite nice and very free.
- This post is relayed to my twitter account.
