This up and coming Django application provides a new user-authentication interface built on top of the Django 'auth' module and Simon Willison's Django OpenID Consumer application.

It allows users to sign up with either OpenID or a traditional username/password, and use them interchangeably. I've started integrating it with DjangoSites to allow users to get away without having yet another username & password to remember. Whilst I haven't made it live yet, it's basically been a case of install & tweak templates. Very easy, and it works on top of the existing userbase which is a win-win situation.

This code certainly trumps my early OpenID integration - much more stable and it's simpler to piece together.

Beautiful work by Benoit Chesneau.
