[pygtk] gnomekeyring incomplete

Hi,
from what I can see, it looks like gnomekeyring bindings are very
incomplete. Basically only the specialised functions
(*_network_password_* and friends) are bound, and all the generic
mechanisms (password functions other than network_password, schema
manipulation, etc.) are inaccessible. Is that true?
I'm writing an Epy extension to interface with GMail, and wanted to store
passwords in the keyring. I *could* mangle it into the network_password
structure by doing something silly like setting the protocol to 'gmail',
but it feels wrong. Well, actually I guess it might even be beneficial if
you happen to have passwords for http://mail.google.com already saved,
but the question remains: why are the python bindings so limited? Not all
data you might want to store fits into the schema of network password,
and that's as true in C as it is in Python.
Cheers,
Maciej
