My concern with a rewrite is that your code is no longer thoroughly tested.  Of course, this depends in large part on the completeness of your unit tests.

I agree with Cory that discoverability is the problem to solve.

You can help with that somewhat by seeding sites like StackOverflow with the information.*

* SO is not very tolerant of questions looking for opinion-based answers such as software recommendations, so make sure you phrase your question as "How do I do XXX using pyoidc?" and your answer can also include other links on the OIDC subject.
