• Web.py: see Web.py Install Guide to install web.py.

Usage & Example

1. Create app & get client id/secret from providers. (Google: Google Cloud Console, Facebook: Facebook Developers)

2. Put auth.py in your project root dir, and also add your project root dir to sys path. auth.py handles OAuth 2.0 process for you, and you do not need to modify this script.

3. In you main python script, create a request handler by subclassing auth.handler. Set url routing and client id/secret. Please refer to login.py for a complete example.

4. You can run the example (remember to modify app id/secret and callback_uri function in the exmaple) by the following bash command:

$ python login.py
