Welcome to Python Social Auth’s documentation!

Python Social Auth aims to be an easy-to-setup social authentication and authorization mechanism for Python projects supporting protocols like OAuth (1 and 2), OpenID and others.

The initial codebase is derived from django-social-auth with the idea of generalizing the process to suit the different frameworks around, providing the needed tools to bring support to new frameworks.

django-social-auth itself was a product of modified code from django-twitter-oauth and django-openid-auth projects.

The project is now split into smaller modules to isolate and reduce responsibilities and improve reusability.

Code and other contributions are welcome. The code is hosted on GitHub.
