To put a little more meat on the bones of my previous message:

Non-interactive apps will continue to work as they did previously (using
the technique mentioned in the quoted docstring, which was included in
the previous version) and interactive apps (that use login_with or
get_token_and_login) will prompt the user on the first use after
upgrading launchpadlib.

The retired argument (credentials_file) is of the login_with class
method, which would never have been a good idea for non-interactive apps
because of the aforementioned web browser invocation.

We interacted with Kees heavily during the integration of launchpadlib
with python-keyring, but he hasn't reviewed the python-keyring library
itself (to my knowledge). What kind of follow up with him should be
done and should we do it?
