That means that you already did it. You can associate each OpenID only with one account (and it doesn't special-case that you are trying to do it again). > Martin> Then, when you want to login, again follow the Launchpad link on > Martin> the front page. > > That seems to work, but I'm not sure how.

Don't worry about that. That's how OpenID is supposed to work. > I saw a pypi.python.org cookie which > expires "On Quit", so I restarted Camino and verified there were no > pypi.python.org cookies, then clicked the Google OpenID link.

Google looks at the Google cookie, and finds your identity; they also see that you have opted to automatically log into PyPI. So without further questions, they redirect you back to PyPI. PyPI finds your account, and displays a logged-in page. Look Ma, no ugly login box with tons of characters to type.
