mutt-gnome-keyring-password.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# Use the IMAP password stored in Gnome Keyring in Mutt
#
# Wouter Bolsterlee <wbolster@gnome.org>, 2010
#
# This helper script writes out a Mutt config line with your IMAP server
# password stored in Gnome keyring (e.g. as saved by Evolution). The output is
# empty if the password was not available. In this case you will be prompted
# for your password by Mutt instead.
#
# Reference this script in your muttrc like this:
#
#   set folder = imaps://your.imap.server/
#   set imap_user = "yourusername"
#   source "~/bin/mutt-gnome-keyring-password.py yourusername your.imap.server imap"|
#
# Note the trailing | character in the last line!
#
# This script was inspired by a similar hack for offlineimap by Ross Burton:
