authomatic's Introduction

Authomatic

Authomatic
is an authorization/authentication
client library for Python web applications
inspired by Alex Vagin’s Simpleauth.
In fact, I almost named it Deadsimpleauth,
but that name would be too long
for a succinct library.
For more info visit the project page at http://peterhudec.github.io/authomatic.
Features

Loosely coupled.
Tiny but powerful interface.
The python-openid_ library is the only optional dependency.
CSRF protection.
Framework agnostic thanks to adapters. Out of the box support for Django, Flask and Webapp2.
Ready to accommodate future authorization / authentication protocols.
Makes calls to provider APIs a breeze.
Supports asynchronous requests.
JavaScript library as a bonus.
Out of the box support for:
- OAuth 1.0a_ providers: Bitbucket, Flickr, Meetup, Plurk, Twitter, Tumblr, UbuntuOne, Vimeo, Xero, Xing and Yahoo.
- OAuth 2.0_ providers: Behance, Bitly, Cosm, DeviantART, Facebook, Foursquare, GitHub, Google, LinkedIn, PayPal, Reddit, Viadeo, VK, WindowsLive, Yammer and Yandex.
- python-openid_ and Google App Engine_ based OpenID_.

Live Demo
