This is the Python OpenID library.
REQUIREMENTS
-
Python 2.3, 2.4, or 2.5.
-
ElementTree. This is included in the Python 2.5 standard library,
but users of earlier versions of Python may need to install it
seperately. -
pycrypto, if on Python 2.3 and without /dev/urandom, or on Python
2.3 or 2.4 and you want SHA256.
INSTALLATION
To install the base library, just run the following command:
python setup.py install
To run setup.py you need the distutils module from the Python standard
library; some distributions package this seperately in a "python-dev"
package.
GETTING STARTED
The examples directory includes an example server and consumer
implementation. See the README file in that directory for more
information on running the examples.
Library documentation is available in html form in the doc directory.
LOGGING
This library offers a logging hook that will record unexpected
conditions that occur in library code. If a condition is recoverable,
the library will recover and issue a log message. If it is not
recoverable, the library will raise an exception. See the
documentation for the openid.oidutil module for more on the logging
hook.
DOCUMENTATION
The documentation in this library is in Epydoc format, which is
