A Python library providing a fully tested, abstract interface for building OAuth 1.0 clients and servers. It is a fork of the original python-oauth code with 100% unit test coverage and an httplib2-based signing client.
Use cases
- implement OAuth 1.0 signing in a Python app
- build an OAuth 1.0 server or provider
- sign outgoing HTTP requests with OAuth 1.0 credentials
- support legacy APIs that still require OAuth 1.0
- use as a dependency for packages like Flask-OAuth
When to choose
- you specifically need OAuth 1.0 (not OAuth 2.0) support in Python
- you need a small, well-tested, MIT-licensed OAuth 1.0 implementation
- you maintain legacy code that already depends on this library
When to avoid
- you need OAuth 2.0 - this library explicitly does not implement it
- you are starting a new project and can use a modern auth library
- you need active development or recent feature work
