Function Details

log(message, level=0)

source code

Handle a log message from the OpenID library.

This implementation writes the string it to sys.stderr, followed by a newline.

Currently, the library does not use the second parameter to this function, but that may change in the future.

To install your own logging hook:

 from openid import oidutil

 def myLoggingFunction(message, level):
     ...

 oidutil.log = myLoggingFunction

Parameters:

message (str) - A string containing a debugging message from the OpenID library
level (int or None) - The severity of the log message. This parameter is currently unused, but in the future, the library may indicate more important information with a higher level value.

Returns:

Nothing.

appendArgs(url, args)

source code

Append query arguments to a HTTP(s) URL. If the URL already has query arguemtns, these arguments will be added, and the existing arguments will be preserved. Duplicate arguments will not be detected or collapsed (both will appear in the output).

Parameters:

url (str) - The url to which the arguments will be appended
args (A dictionary from string to string, or a sequence of pairs of strings.) - The query arguments to add to the URL. If a dictionary is passed, the items will be sorted before appending them to the URL. If a sequence of pairs is passed, the order of the sequence will be preserved.

Returns: str

The URL with the parameters added
