Introduction

Flask-OAuthlib is designed to be a replacement for Flask-OAuth. It depends on oauthlib.

Why

The original Flask-OAuth suffers from lack of maintenance, and oauthlib is a promising replacement for python-oauth2.

There are lots of non-standard services that claim they are oauth providers, but their APIs are always broken. While rewriting an oauth extension for Flask, I took them into consideration. Flask-OAuthlib does support these non-standard services.

Flask-OAuthlib also provides the solution for creating an oauth service. It supports both oauth1 and oauth2 (with Bearer Token).

import this

Flask-OAuthlib was developed with a few PEP 20 idioms in mind:

>>> import this
  1. Beautiful is better than ugly.
  2. Explicit is better than implicit.
  3. Simple is better than complex.
  4. Complex is better than complicated.
  5. Readability counts.

All contributions to Flask-OAuthlib should keep these important rules in mind.
