I’ve been working on the Tornado framework’s authentication library, and I have to say it’s really nice to submit pull requests, get feedback, and then go back and make changes based on that framework. Working with gaeutilities it’s been more or less me making changes whenever there’s a bug report, but I haven’t really had that other set of eyes perspective to help.

The most recent pull request I did is a lot simpler and cleaner than the first, and it’s all because of Ben Darnell feedback with each iteration.

By the way, I’m still looking for anyone interested in working on gaeutiltiies. I just don’t use appengine anymore so haven’t been following up on it. At this point I’d be happy to brain dump someone the performance improvement ideas and bless a fork as well as figure out how to hand over the gaeutilities.appspot.com domain if someone really wants to run with it.
