It is with great pleasure that JanRain, Inc. announces version 1.0 of the Python OpenID library. This library contains packages to support both OpenID consumers (relying parties) and servers. For back-end storage, it supports a variety of methods, including flat file, SQL, and MemCached.
In our own work on making applications OpenID enabled, we've been reminded that every web framework is different. For that reason we've strived to make this library general enough to fit in to any Python web application. We also like to think the API is simple to follow. Let us know how it works for you.

OpenID is a decentralized identity system that provides authentication for web applications, i.e. single sign-on for the web. See http://openid.net/ If you're interested in OpenID but this library isn't quite what you've been waiting for for, keep your eye on http://openidenabled.com. There's more coming.
