dbus-python dependency needed for unlocking kwallet
Describe the bug maestral needs a dbus python module in order to be able to unlock kwallet.
To Reproduce
- stick this in
maestral.ini
[auth]
keyring = keyring.backends.kwallet.DBusKeyring
Notice how maestral blows up with an error about the dbus module missing.
We fixed it downstream in NixOS by adding in the dbus-python
module:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/194165
Expected behaviour
Actually, I would have expected things to work with automatic
in there as kwallet now has SecretService support, but that's different issue.
System:
- Maestral version: 1.6.0
- Python version: 3.10
- OS: NixOS - latest unstable
- Desktop environment: KDE Plasma 5.94
Additional context
Indeed, the keyring.backends.kwallet.DBusKeyring
requires dbus-python
to be installed. This is a transitive dependency of keyring which likely does not include it as an explicit dependency because it often installed through the platform's package manager instead of PyPI.
I could add an explicit dependency on dbus-python
for Linux but would probably prefer this to be handled by keyring
instead.
