Hello Group, I would like to contribute an OpenID consumer auth backend and wonder whether it is good style for authenticate() to raise an exception or not?
The question is motivated by the fact that OpenID authentication is a two phase procedure and authenticate() is bound to returning a valid user or None. Thus I cannot interpret None as fault, which would be bad style inbound signaling anyway. Two solutions come to mind: raising exceptions or modelling an interface within token where authenticate is declared as authenticate(token). In fact my question could have been: How bad style is it to modify the token on an autheticate(token) call. Any suggestions?
