I am currently building my GAE application and I was considering building my own authentication mechanism using Django. Do you think it is still worth creating one's own authentication mechanism? May be integrating with existing providers should be enough? Thanks for this post.

Twitter's invitations either uses a third party provider (for contacts importing) or has direct partnership with Yahoo.

Nice post! I'm trying to build a contact importer tool for my web application, and my googling returned your post. Do you happen to know if Yahoo! provides client login like Google? Twitter's invitation tool (http://twitter.com/invitations) imports contacts from Yahoo! without the redirection. How can I achieve this? Hi sausheong. Nice post!

You can add a rescue at the back of the statement and then catch it somewhere else for exception handling, I guess I was just trying to make it as simple as possible. Google ClientLogin etc are easier of course, but you need to capture the user's id and password and that might make your user uncomfortable, in case where you might store it for your nefarious purposes :D @SengMing, absolutely right, it’s just sample code.
