I'm fairly skeptical that you actually do use voidspace.org.uk. I can believe that this is what you type into the openid field - but the ID that is validated to the relying party is http://fuzzyman.myopenid.com/. So when you change the provider (and hence the openid.delegate value), you will have to create new accounts for all services that you use, right? > I'm afraid the PyPI implementation of openid is useless to me too - I > want to use voidspace.org.uk as my openid but it doesn't let me. See above - the services may let you *enter* that string, but it isn't your openid.
