Incorporating rauth? about python-social-auth

[omab]

@maxcountryman, this application was derived from django-social-auth, which got this issue raised some time ago. By the time I got a chance to work on it I've checked the available options around and rauth was very promising with a clean API, but the lack of Python 3 support ruled it out.

Right now I'm happy with the result with using oauthlib and requests-oauthlib, so I'm not planing on changing it right now, but I'm not discarding it just now since it provides a clean API that could be useful for users using this app too.

BTW, the comment on HN was mine.

@omab gotcha. I can imagine that not having to hack around lack of OAuth 2.0 support would also be a nice transition from oauthlib to rauth? I do think rauth is particularly well-suited for the client role, whereas oauthlib seems finicky and its client implementations do leave a lot to be desired. Anyway I'll leave this open for your consideration, regardless we do plan to implement Python 3 support in the not-so-distant future.

I don't see a point on doing this migration right now, maybe in the future I can work on it, but so far request_oauthlib has been working very well.
