Once again - I give up. Sessions don't really work (and web.py folks had 2 years to make sure it does). The mailing list proves to be cooperative as long as you don't ask anything about sessions. I'll try Django instead.

After 2 years of mucking about, there's finally a version that

  1. Works with web.py ver 0.3x (tested with 0.32)
  2. Doesn't use genshi (not that it's bad, but it was yet another dependency Wink)

Usage

from weboid import oid
# add oid_login etc. urls
urls=(...)+oid.OID_URLS
# page allowed only for a list of openid users
class secret_page:
    @oid.checkaccess(['james.sis.gov.uk','bond.mi6.co.uk'])
    def GET(self):
        # return secret html
def myacl(openid_url,arg):
    # return True if authorized. arg is user defined
    # and passed through the @oid.checkaccess() decorator
class vip_page:
    @oid.checkaccess('vip',myacl)
    def GET(self):
        # return vip html
class die:
    "Neat trick to reset your wsgi app when you change a template etc."
    @oid.checkaccess(SUPER_USERS)
    def get(self):
        sys.exit(0)
