How do I retrieve a username with Python keyring?

Question

I have a Mercurial keyring on my Windows 7 machine. I am using the Python keyring library to get user credentials from the Mercurial keyring.

I can retrieve the password for a given username with:

keyring.get_password('Mercurial', 'user@@etc')

Is there a similar function to retrieve the username?

Answer

You are expected to have stored the username somewhere else.

The keyring only stores the password, keyed by the application name and username.
