I would like to have my application http://app.acquee.com/designer to accept a google account as a login. I found a bunch of libs for django but most work on top of existing Django authentication system that I do not use. I have my own set of user tables where I keep user info and privileges.

Any suggestion on how to integrate that with the Google Openid?

Seems I will have to do it manually using python-openid. Or could I use django-openid? However, with the latter, I don't even know how to issue the discover command.

Regardless, I get stuck on google's step 5, sending a login authentication request (optionally with OAuth parameters) to the provided endpoint address. Can someone provide a sample request? is it a GET/POST? content?

Cheers

You can try https://launchpad.net/django-openid-auth - I'm using it in a commercial project, for both regular Google Accounts and Google Apps accounts. I remember that it was the most convincing one at the time I was doing a review, although I can't give you any details now due to my short memory. Anyway - it's working great.

Tomasz, are you using it with built in Django authentication or your custom one? As far as I understood, django-openid-auth only works with built in Django user management...
Ah, sorry, I overlooked that part about not using Django user system. Writing this - why are you not using it? You can always use custom user profiles to store any additional data you might need. And if you really don't want to use django.contrib.auth, then yes, you probably have to go the low-level way and speak directly to python-openid (or django-openid, but I'm not sure of this one, never used it, just quickly scanned its source code).
