Kupfer is really great and I am very grateful for it. Unfortunately, on one of my Laptops, Kupfer's (ver208) gmail-plugin forgets the gmail password (Lubuntu 12.04). AFAIK, I have installed all necessary packages. If I start Kupfer from the terminal and try to change the gmail password, this is what the terminal tells me:
File "/usr/share/kupfer/kupfer/ui/preferences.py", line 583, in callback
setctl.set_plugin_config(plugin_id, key, upass, val_type)
File "/usr/share/kupfer/kupfer/core/settings.py", line 355, in set_plugin_config
value_repr = value.save(plugin, key)
File "/usr/share/kupfer/kupfer/plugin_support.py", line 186, in save
keyring.set_password(plugin_id, self.username, self.password)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keyring/core.py", line 39, in set_password
_keyring_backend.set_password(service_name, username, password)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keyring/backend.py", line 172, in set_password
password, True)
TypeError: dict values must be strings, ints or longs, when converting attribute list parameter
Any clues?
Gnome Keyring no longer support unicode usernames.
Attached patch should solve this problem.
