Hi Martin,

I'm working on something similar at the moment.  It is a bit difficult
to find information; the best reference I have found so far is the
DemandID application(http://demand.openid.net/).  You can get the
source for it from the SVN server (http://demand.googlecode.com/svn/
trunk).  This application uses its own simple session implementation,
but you could replace it with something like GAE Utiltities.

Hope this helps.

Luc
