Django + Google SSO openid

Question

I want my app http://app.acquee.com/designer to accept google account as login. I found a bunch of libs for django, but most of the work on the existing Django authentication system I do not use. I have my own set of user tables where I save user information and privileges.

Any suggestion on how to integrate this with Google Openid?

I seem to have to do this manually using python-openid. Or could I use django-openid ? However, with the latter, I don’t even know how to issue a discovery command.

Regardless, I stuck to google step 5 by sending a login authentication request (optional with OAuth settings) to the provided endpoint address. Can someone provide a sample request? is it get / post? content?

Greetings

You can try https://launchpad.net/django-openid-auth - I use it in a commercial project for both regular Google accounts and Google Apps accounts. I remember that it was most convincing at the time I was doing the review, although now I can not give you any details because of my short memory. In any case, it works great.
