Rails has Omniauth. Django has... a ton of one-off, limited social auth apps?
My language/framework of choice is Python/Django. In general, the libraries and "batteries-included" nature of those two have served me well. But in the past month I've begun work on a social web app and need a way to integrate signup and connecting an existing user of my application to their social networking accounts.
The Rails/Rack solution is rather complete (supports numerous sites), perhaps because the Rails community has smartly focused their energies on developing/supporting one project. Meanwhile, what I mostly find in the Django world are incomplete, cobbled-together solutions, each supporting perhaps a few APIs.
Am I missing a clear front-runner? Is there any interest out there in collaborating on a specific social networking authorization project to make it "the one" -- the Omniauth of the Django world?
- dmarble 16y agoHere are the Django solutions I've found: * https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth (at least seems to work out of the box, looks to be some of the Pinax account app integrated with a decent way of both logging in and connecting to additional accounts after logging in. Pretty good demo at http://jug.gl/ http://jug.gl/) * https://github.com/flashingpumpkin/django-socialregistration https://github.com/flashingpumpkin/django-socialregistration (basic functionality, note the many forks) * https://github.com/agiliq/Django-Socialauth https://github.com/agiliq/Django-Socialauth (outdated, note the many forks) * https://github.com/dgouldin/django-socialite https://github.com/dgouldin/django-socialite * https://github.com/omab/django-social-auth https://github.com/omab/django-social-auth * https://github.com/kmike/django-registration-facebook-backend https://github.com/kmike/django-registration-facebook-backen... * https://github.com/tschellenbach/Django-facebook https://github.com/tschellenbach/Django-facebook
- Ciacco 16y agoI've been looking around this same issue, and haven't come up with anything for Django. Hoping someone here has recently worked on this.
