Unfortunately it's not that easy. The keyring package chooses the back
end (GNOME keyring in this case) early and doesn't have a mechanism to
fall back to another back end if the chosen one doesn't end up working.

Oh, I just realized you may be suggesting that launchpadlib (as opposed
to keyring) catch the exception. Yep, that would be a reasonable
workaround.
