When asked in an OpenID login box, you *don't* enter

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.

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.
As I said before: yes, I did encounter problems - it isn't supported
at all, AFAICT. The reference https://launchpad.net was theoretical -
launchpad doesn't appear to support OpenID 2.0.
Hi Martin. Very cool that you added the OpenID support to PyPI.
Thank you for this and your other PyPI work.
I have the information for Launchpad's OpenID support. We do in fact
support OpenID 2.0. The address to use is https://
login.launchpad.net/ . We also meet your other requirements.
Launchpad currently only supports SREG. We do send the nickname by
default to any RP. We would need to add a RP record for PyPI and allow
it to receive email and fullname. If you can let me know the
trust_root that you would be using for that, we can set it up.
I'll create a SourceForge bug for this now. Thanks.
Gary
