Python Social Auth - Core
Python Social Auth is an easy to setup social authentication/registration mechanism with support for several frameworks and auth providers.
Description
This is the core component of the python-social-auth ecosystem, it implements the common interface to define new authentication backends to third parties services, implement integrations with web frameworks and storage solutions.
Documentation
Project documentation is available at https://python-social-auth.readthedocs.io/.
Security
See the current threat model for the supported security boundaries and the security policy for private vulnerability reporting. When a release includes a threat model, the copy in its source distribution or repository tag records the boundaries applicable to that release.
Setup
pip install social-auth-core
Contributing
Contributions are welcome!
Only the core and Django modules are currently in development. All others are in maintenance only mode, and maintainers are especially welcome there.
See the CONTRIBUTING.md document for details.
Versioning
This project follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0.
Releasing
Update the package version and add a matching version section to CHANGELOG.md,
then push the version tag. CI builds and checks the distributions, publishes to
PyPI, and creates the GitHub release with its release notes and assets. Do not
publish an empty GitHub release before CI runs.
GitHub releases are created as drafts and published only after all assets are uploaded. Existing releases, including drafts, cause the GitHub release job to fail rather than overwrite assets. Inspect and remove an incomplete draft before retrying. Asset corrections to a published immutable release require a new version.
License
This project follows the BSD license. See the LICENSE for details.
