Description

Lets Python applications store and retrieve passwords, tokens, and other private values through the desktop SecretService D-Bus API. It helps programs use the user's keyring instead of writing secrets into plain configuration files.

Developers use it as a library in desktop or user-session tools. Secret storage still depends on the session keyring and unlock policy, so handle missing keyrings, locked collections, and permission prompts clearly.
