Authomatic 0.0.1

Authorization / authentication client library for Python web applications

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.

Features

• Loosely coupled.

• Tiny but powerfull interface.

• The python-openid library is the only optional dependency.

• CSRF protection.

• Framework agnostic thanks to adapters.

• 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 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.

Note

To cool your excitement down a little bit, the library is in its very early stage and there are practically no tests!

Live Demo

There is a live Google App Engine based demo app running at http://authomatic-example.appspot.com which makes use of most of the features.
