Python Keyring error (87, 'CredWrite', 'The parameter is incorrect.')

I am using python 2.7 on 32 bit XP machine and keyring 3.1 library.Also tried with 3.3 keyring. In keyring.set_password("name", "value", "hundred") am getting error (87, 'CredWrite', 'The parameter is incorrect.'). Error occurs in both eclipse and through py2exe during exe making. My setup.py is 

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import time
setup(
    windows=['python.py'],
    options=dict(py2exe=dict(
        packages='keyring.backends',
    )),
)
time.sleep(2)

32-bit XP doesn't have Windows Vault. Use an alternative like Win Crypto. From keyrings.alt.Windows import EncrpytedKeyring and then keyring.set_keyring(). You will need to set the backend file_path member too.
