Well, since I use Google a lot more I'd prefer to use that.  If I click the
Google OpenID link I now get

    OpenID is already claimed

That seems to work, but I'm not sure how.  Doesn't seem to use cookies.  The
Google OpenID link leads to

    http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=login&provider=Google

which contains nothing about me.  I saw a pypi.python.org cookie which
expires "On Quit", so I restarted Camino and verified there were no
pypi.python.org cookies, then clicked the Google OpenID link.  It still
works.  I must be missing something obvious...
