Python Social Auth is a Python library providing easy-to-setup social authentication and registration with support for multiple frameworks and auth providers like OAuth and OpenID. It was deprecated in 2016 and its codebase was split and migrated into the python-social-auth organization (social-auth-core and related packages).
Use cases
- add social login with Google, Facebook, or Twitter to a Django app
- implement OAuth and OpenID authentication in Python
- let users register and sign in with third-party providers
- unify social authentication across multiple Python web frameworks
- migrate from django-social-auth to the newer social-core packages
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy project already using django-social-auth or python-social-auth
- studying the original codebase before migrating to the python-social-auth organization packages
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use social-auth-core / social-auth-app-django instead
- you need actively maintained social authentication with current provider APIs
- you need support for modern Python versions or recent framework releases
