That's right: you can't use the delegation feature of PyPI right now. But you could certainly use your OpenID with PyPI, as myopenid.com is one of the accepted providers. I can understand that you may not *want* to use that - but it would be certainly possible and easy for you to do so. Even if PyPI would support entering "www.b-list.org", it would still notice and remember that you are "ubernostrum.myopenid.com", because it's part of the protocol that it does. I don't know what the point of OpenID delegation is; to me, it appears as a work-around to not have people remember long and complicated IDs, but rather have them type something they can remember. With PyPI, you don't have to remember your ID at all - it never ever becomes relevant for anything.
