**Authomatic**

is a **framework agnostic** library

for **Python** web applications

with a **minimalistic** but **powerful** interface

which simplifies **authentication** of users

by third party providers like **Facebook** or **Twitter**

through standards like **OAuth** and **OpenID**.



For more info visit the project page at http://authomatic.github.io/authomatic.



Maintainers

===========



**Authomatic** was migrated from a private project of Peter Hudec to a community-managed project.

Many thanks to Peter Hudec for all his hard work for creating and maintaining **authomatic**!

We are now a small team of volunteers, not paid for the work here.

Any help is appreciated!
