## Note: This library implements OAuth 1.0 and *not OAuth 2.0*. 



# Overview

python-oauth2 is a python oauth library fully compatible with python versions: 2.6, 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4. This library is depended on by many other downstream packages such as Flask-Oauth.



# Installing



You can install `oauth2` via [the PIP package](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/oauth2). 



    $ pip install oauth2

    

We recommend using [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/).



# Examples



Examples can be found in the [wiki](https://github.com/joestump/python-oauth2/wiki)



# Running tests

You can run tests using the following at the command line:



    $ pip install -r requirements.txt

    $ python setup.py test



# History



This code was originally forked from [Leah Culver and Andy Smith's oauth.py code](http://github.com/leah/python-oauth/). Some of the tests come from a [fork by Vic Fryzel](http://github.com/shellsage/python-oauth), while a revamped Request class and more tests were merged in from [Mark Paschal's fork](http://github.com/markpasc/python-oauth). A number of notable differences exist between this code and its forefathers:



* 100% unit test coverage.

* The DataStore object has been completely ripped out. While creating unit tests for the library I found several substantial bugs with the implementation and confirmed with Andy Smith that it was never fully baked.

* Classes are no longer prefixed with OAuth.

* The Request class now extends from dict.

* The library is likely no longer compatible with Python 2.3.

* The Client class works and extends from httplib2. It's a thin wrapper that handles automatically signing any normal HTTP request you might wish to make.
