pyoauth2 0.0.1

Simple OAuth 2.0 client library

0. What is pyoauth2 about?

pyoauth2 provides simple OAuth 2.0 [1] client, which enables easy authorization/authentication to several web service APIs, such as Google APIs, Facebook API, Foursquare and so on. (Note that Twitter does not provide OAuth 2.0 as of now.)

This module tries to follow detailed specs on Internet-Draft of OAuth 2.0 (Candidate replacement of RFC 5849) but as of now it is implemented on a visceral level.
