Issue

I am trying to get my keyring configuration via this command: keyring get https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ <my-username>.

However, this command blocks indefinitely. Terminating the command returns this traceback:

^CTraceback (most recent call last):

It seems Collection.unlock() is blocking indefinitely. What is causing this, and how can this be fixed?

Hi!
Can you please share more details about your configuration?

• What is the desktop environment (GNOME Shell, other DE, headless)?
• Is gnome-keyring installed and running?

It looks like gnome-keyring opened a prompt dialog and waits for you to type a password (or at least it thinks so). Do you see any dialogs when it happens?

Just wanted to say I had this same issue on an Ubuntu server and fixed it by configuring the keyring to automatically unlock.
