OpenID provider doesn't work in Python 3

[tommygod3]

The code gets a serialized association (a String) then attempts to decode it with:

authomatic/authomatic/providers/openid.py

Line 108 in e8b7c68

decoded = serialized.decode('latin-1')

This does not work in Python 3 as Strings do not need to be decoded.
Simple fix would be to remove this however more thought would need to be put it in to retain Python 2 compatibility I would imagine.

This could fix it:

# ...
import sys
PY2 = sys.version_info < (3, 0)
# ...

        assoc = association.serialize()
        if PY2
            assoc = assoc.decode('latin-1')
# ...

After several years of inactivity, authomatic is now under community management, and we have just released a new stable version (1.0.0).

We are now reviewing all issues and PRs and hoping to begin work to solve as many of these as possible.

We are keen to find out which issues still apply, and which PRs are still required/are likely to merge cleanly into the current code. We are aiming to review them all, but any help with prioritisation would be very useful!

If you are still interested in having this issue/PR resolved, or are able to help us work on it, please reply to this message. That way we know which issues are most important to the community.

I am not working on the project anymore where I found this bug but I am assuming that it's still an issue seeing as that file hasn't been changed sicne June 2017.
