OpenID Session Middleware for Django

This post was written on 2007/04/24 at 09:44:47 by Horst Gutmann

Simon Willison just did something that will probably save me a week or so on my way to django@zerokspot: He released an OpenID consumer app for django.

From what I've read so far, this one doesn't (yet!) integrate itself into Django's auth subsystem, but provides a session middleware.

I guess now I can rewrite the commenting app again, this time to support OpenID and remove the captcha for those people, who are logged in. My implementation probably won't really use Simon's apart from being an inspiration, though, since I would like to really bind a username to an OpenID in order to make name-binding possible in comments. Now I just need the time for the whole project again. Perhaps this Saturday I will have a chance. Or Friday afternoon ;-)

As with many other Django related projects, also this one can be found on Google Code... Sourceforge is really starting to die, isn't it?

    Responding to your off-topic remark in this post: I haven't really checked, but is Google Code such a good application?

    I guess for me right now, having my own Trac installation is more than enough, but if I ever want to plan another open source something, it might be an idea to check out Google Code.

    To me Google Code looks like a streamlined Sourceforge. No mailinglists, no forums (which honestly nearly no one ever uses anyway), only a wiki, a bugtracker, filehosting and svn. But everything with a very nice and clean interface compared to what SF has :)

    Hmm... sounds pretty OK to me. Maybe if I start a new open source project or whatever soon, I'll have a good look at it.
