I just started a poll on the PyPI rating system, at

I'll announce it more widely tomorrow.

Just so you're aware, there's some opportunity for ballot stuffing given that each OpenID provider a user has access allows them one vote, as well as the vote they have if they actually create a username/password on PyPI. So, each person can, in theory, vote up to 4 times.

As a corollary of that, I an also tell you that the myopenid provider is currently broken. On the bounce back from the MyOpenID site, you get the following from PyPI:

"OpenID provider did not provide your email address"

MyOpenID certainly do have an email address for me ;-)

There's also the issue that, of course, people can register with multiple email addresses and stuff the ballot that way even more successfully too...
