As what the title says, Does Flask-OpenId work on free account?

I guess it should, in theory -- as long as it uses relatively up-to-date libraries for making http connections, and that those connections all go out to sites that are on our whitelist.

I see that flask-openid depends on python-openid, which is built by janrain, and we've had other users connect with janrain successfully, so that's cause for optimism, although it's not conclusive.

I guess the only way to find out will be to try it. Unless anyone else out there has some experience with it?

Hi Harry. Thanks for the reply. I've read here. https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/502/#id_post_8109 that Flask-OpenId doesn't work on free account but that was 9 months ago. I'm wondering if there's some changes that Flask-OpenId will now work on free account.

But as what you suggested, the only way to find out is to try it. Okay I'll try it later but still if someone tried it recently I'd love to hear it.

Thanks.

I've taken a look at the source for python-openid, and they're using urrlib2, which doesn't support https-over-a-proxy, so I don't think it will work. I've opened an issue on their tracker, this would be the place to follow for updates, if anyone's interested:
