dready blog v2.0

So, here’s how we go about doing it.

My ingredients:

• Apache 2.2.4
• Python 2.5
• mod_python 3.2.10
• JanRain’s Python OpenID library combo 1.2.0 (which includes dependencies: Yadis 1.1.0 + urljr 1.0.1)
• mpopenid 1.2.0-pre5 (yet to be released on the main project site which is still showing 1.0.0)

Following the recipes in this README file, I was able to set it up with one caveat: Python ElementTree module is a dependency of the Python Yadis library and you need to first install that.

Did I mention that you could login using an I-name?

UPDATE:

The following patch for mpopenid.py is needed to make i-name login work:
