Description

Right now, setting up keyring on WSL is complicated and some steps need to be done every time before a script using keyring can be launched:
https://github.com/jaraco/keyring/issues/566

It would be great if at least the steps that need to be done every time when running a keyring based script could be somehow encapsulated in keyring itself.

Research direction

Start by reading the setup steps and recurring commands described in linked issue #566, then compare them with keyring's existing WSL-related behavior. The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point; completion would mean encapsulating the steps that must currently be repeated before each keyring-based script runs.
