I don't understand why you would need to use this for server-side authentication in the Django environment? So this OpenToken Single Sign-on appears to be more similar to Django's own django.contrib.auth, and django.contrib.sessions packages, and possibly even less secure (and less documented) than Kerberos authentication which is two way site-wide authentication protocol. If I were you, I'd use *django.contrib.auth* and *django.contrib.sessions*. The sessions application provides site cookie for authenticating HTTP against, and auth provides User account authentication for Single Sign-on using sha1 (default) or md5, or crypt.
You could port the OenToken Perl module to Python easily, and remember to target Pythong 2.6 and import hashlib for sha1 as the sha module is now deprecated. Beyond that, could you please provide more insight on why you would want to use OpenToken specifically over the built in Django packages? I read through the spec once and this is my conclusion is a much bigger headache porting/integrating with OpenToken than using the built in Django methods.
