This page is very simple, but might answer some questions:
https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/OpenID .
For example, my Launchpad openid is https://launchpad.net/~gary .
If this doesn't help, let me know, and I'll pass the question along
to
someone more knowledgeable.
That's the OpenID 1 view of the world. In the OpenID 2 world, you
don't
need to know your OpenID - you just need to know you have a
Launchpad ID.
When asked in an OpenID login box, you *don't* enter
"https://launchpad.net/~gary"; anymore. Instead, you just enter
"https://launchpad.net"; (or click on the Launchpad icon). The OpenID
machinery will then steer you through the login process. You may have
to confirm that you want to login into PyPI (*), but you won't have to
tell anywhere explicitly that you are gary - assuming you had logged
into Launchpad before.
This much improved user experience is the key feature of OpenID 2.0.

Martin
(*) if you had confirmed this before, you may get logged in
immediately after clicking the Launchpad icon.
Ah gotcha. Thank you very much for the explanation.
If you encounter any problems with using Launchpad for this, I would
appreciate it if you let me know. There's a reasonable chance I'd be
able to help arrange a resolution.
