Issue with accessing keyrings (set by R) in python

[NefeliK30]

Hello, I am having issues accessing keyrings in python when the keyrings were created by R using keyring package.

In R I can create a keyring using

keyring::key_set_with_value(service = "nef-test-service", username = "nefeli_test", password = "my_secret_key", keyring = "nefeli")

When I am trying to access it through python the password returned is not readable

import keyring
import keyring.backends.Windows

# Set up Windows backend
keyring.set_keyring(keyring.backends.Windows.WinVaultKeyring())

service_name = "nefeli:nef-test-service:nefeli_test"
username = "nefeli_test"

# Get the password
password = keyring.get_password(service_name, username)

print(password)

Where is the issue and how can I solve it?
Thank you very much!

The Windows credential store does not support multiple keyrings. The R package emulates them, but the emulation is not compatible with other tools. (Unless they implement the same emulation of course.)

Does it work if you use the default keyring?
