keyring.delete_password(service, username) deletes all passwords for that service

[jaraco]

In Ubuntu 12.04 using keyring3.1

#!python

>>> import keyring

>>> keyring.set_password('jacks', 'cold', 'sweat')
>>> keyring.get_password('jacks', 'cold')
u'sweat'
>>> keyring.set_password('jacks', 'smirking', 'revenge')
>>> keyring.get_password('jacks', 'smirking')
u'revenge'
>>> keyring.delete_password('jacks', 'cold')
>>> keyring.get_password('jacks', 'smirking')
>>>

It seems that all passwords for the given service are deleted when a delete_password call is made.

This does not happen in OS X (10.8.5)

I guess the discrepancy would lie between these two methods.

keyring.backends.OS_X.Keyring.delete_password

keyring.backends.file.BaseKeyring

Will have a fix for that soon.

Thanks Dmitry. Indeed, delete_password should only ever delete a single password. Perhaps we should build a test for that into the base test helper.
