OT : Cannot login to PyPI using MyOpenId
I realized that PyPI accepts MyOpenId and tried to login to the site. In the process I get this message : {{{ OpenID provider did not provide your email address }}} I mean, is it mandatory to provide the e-mail address in order to bind a user to an OpenId ? I'm curious : I'd like to know if there's a reason to do that. Thnx in advance ! PS: I know is a little bit OT. Hope you dont mind ... -- Regards, Olemis.

For an existing user? No, there is no reason. For a new user, yes, we mandate a valid, verified email address.

The Python bug tracker <URL:http://bugs.python.org/>?

The Python bug tracker has issues with OpenID (it doesn't allow OpenID login at all, AFAICT), and the latter times out attempting a connection for me. -- \ “We must become the change we want to see.” —Mahatma Gandhi | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney

The latter. The former is for bugs in Python only.

That alone wouldn't make it unsuitable for reporting problems with PyPI, including problems with OpenID, right?
and the latter times out attempting a connection for me.
Please try again; it does work most of the time (if it still doesn't work, check your internet connection). Regards, Martin

My internet connection is fine, I'm able to visit various sites without a problem. That tracker loads fine, but when I select “Log In”, it takes a very long time and eventually times out. This is repeatable (for me) multiple times over the past 12 hours or so. This is probably a SourceForge problem and nothing you can fix directly, but those wanting to receive bug reports into that tracker might be interested to know. -- \ “If you can't hear me sometimes, it's because I'm in | `\ parentheses.” —Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney
