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.

- Loosely coupled.
- Tiny but powerful interface.
- The python-openid library is the only optional dependency.
- CSRF protection.
- Framework agnostic thanks to adapters. Out of the box support for Django, Flask, Pyramid and Webapp2.
- Ready to accommodate future authorization / authentication protocols.
- Makes calls to provider APIs a breeze.
- Supports asynchronous requests.
- JavaScript library as a bonus.
- Out of the box support for:
- OAuth 1.0a providers: Bitbucket, Flickr, Meetup, Plurk, Twitter, Tumblr, UbuntuOne, Vimeo, Xero, Xing and Yahoo.
- OAuth 2.0 providers: Amazon, Behance, Bitly, Cosm, DeviantART, Eventbrite, Facebook, Foursquare, GitHub, Google, LinkedIn, PayPal, Reddit, Viadeo, VK, WindowsLive, Yammer and Yandex.
- python-openid and Google App Engine based OpenID.
The package is licensed under MIT license and requires Python 2.6 and higher, but doesn't support Python 3 yet.
There is a Google App Engine based live demo app running at http://authomatic-example.appspot.com which makes use of most of the features.
