Python Social Auth

Python Social Auth is an easy-to-setup social authentication/registration mechanism with support for several frameworks and auth providers.

Crafted using base code from django-social-auth, it implements a common interface to define new authentication providers from third parties, and to bring support for more frameworks and ORMs.

This application provides user registration and login using social sites credentials. Here are some features, which is probably not a full list yet.

Supported frameworks

Multiple frameworks are supported:

• Django
• Flask
• Pyramid
• Webpy

More frameworks can be added easily (and should be even easier in the future once the code matures).

Auth providers

Several services are supported by simply defining backends (new ones can be easily added or current ones extended):

• Angel OAuth2
• Behance OAuth2
• Bitbucket OAuth1
• Box OAuth2
• Dailymotion OAuth2
• Disqus OAuth2
• Douban OAuth1 and OAuth2
• Dropbox OAuth1
• Evernote OAuth1
• Facebook OAuth2 and OAuth2 for Applications

User data

Basic user data population, to allow custom field values from provider's response.

Social accounts association

Multiple social accounts can be associated to a single user.

Authentication processing

Extensible pipeline to handle authentication/association mechanism in ways that suits your project.

Dependencies

Dependencies that must be met to use the application:

• OpenId support depends on python-openid
• OAuth support depends on python-oauth2 (despite the name, this is just for OAuth1)
• Several backends demand application registration on their corresponding sites and other dependencies like sqlalchemy on Flask and Webpy.
