It's currently not possible, since you do not have access to the 
libgnome-keyring library which is necessary for you to use to interact 
with the keyring daemon.
There are two possible ways of solving this, so python applications can 
access the keyrings:

1) Write C bindings for the library
2) Reimplement the library in python

1 is very painful and requires a lot of PythonC knowledge.
2 is possible since the library communicates with the daemon through a 
socket, so if you chose this you need to dig into the gnome-keyring 
sources and do exactly as it does.
