Hi, I'm the project lead on Persona signin, and I spoke at PyCon earlier this year regarding why and how Mozilla is building Persona. If you'd like some more background, that video [0] is worth a look. Let's pull this discussion up a level: It sounds like many people (Jesus, Donald, Toshio, Barry, Tres, Dirkjan, etc.) are interested in seeing Persona on Python.org properties, and most of the objections coming from a place of "Persona hasn't gone viral, what if this is wasted effort?" We can tackle that from two angles: 1. Dirkjan and I are willing to do the work to make this happen if someone from python-devel is willing to guide us through the contributor process for these systems. 2. There's a seamless migration path away from Persona if we fail: fall back to the pre-existing traditional email/password system using the same email addresses that Persona had previously been in charge of verifying. So let's do this. The open web deserves better than just Google+, Facebook, or Passwords, and visible support from the Python community would be a huge step toward answering the chicken-and-egg objections raised in this thread. At your service, -Callahad PS: Freeform OpenID has utterly failed as a user-empowering authentication system, and the protocol itself is rapidly being supplanted by vendor-specific OAuth[1] systems. If we want to ensure that "you *can* (not *must*) use free and open services to access our resources," then we must provide an option to use something akin to Persona.
