openid in pylons (not using authkit)

Question

Hey all,

So I'm trying to authenticate users on a Pylons web application using openid. I don't want to use authkit, seeing as it is no longer maintained.

I'm currently trying to use python-openid (available from git at http://github.com/openid/python-openid) and having a hard time with it. The pylons framework isn't making it easy for me to interact with the python-openid classes, which are basically looking for instances of python's HTTPServer and SimpleCookie classes...

Any assistance available? Has anyone solved this problem? TIA.

OpenId with pylons through repoze.what works OK. Please see the following discussion in the pylons mailing list to find some pointers: http://groups.google.com/group/pylons-discuss/browse_thread/thread/162ebf131db3582b#
