I have adding this support on my list of things to do, but I'm not currently doing web development, so it will likely be a while before I get back to that. I have a branch of repoze.who.openid that does the SREG stuff, but the maintainer wants it revamped to avoid doing the registration (i.e. adding to the DB) by end-running the repoze.who stuff. I'm sorely tempted to just code the thing directly against the python openid package and directly generate an authtkt cookie instead of using a repoze.who plugin... but again, I just don't have time to work on it now. Keep in mind that the user can say 'no', and some providers, such as Launchpad will return an effectively "null" attribute set unless/until you register with them... oh, and on some providers, the users can lie about their identity (create pseudonyms), should be fine on google and yahoo, though.
