Authorization / authentication client library for Python web applications
Project description
Authomatic is an authorization/authentication client library for Python web applications inspired by Alex Vagin’s Simpleauth. In fact, I almost named it Deadsimpleauth, but that name would be too long for a succinct library.

Features
Loosely coupled.
Tiny but powerful interface.
The python-openid library is the only optional dependency.

Framework agnostic thanks to adapters.
Ready to accommodate future authorization/authentication protocols.
Makes calls to provider APIs a breeze.

JavaScript library as a bonus.
