In one breath, you're complaining about a library's complexity in abstracting away an underlying mess, and in the next, you're praising a library that is complex and abstracts away some underlying mess. It's not about stars. It's about the right architectural choice. Believe me when I say that we thought long and hard about the structure of OAuthLib, and it looks nothing at all like Java. When we started out, we were reacting to the mess that is/was python-oauth[2] and its class-based ridiculous. Like all real-world projects, after spending time with the spec and refactoring the parts which were common to the various signing flows, you end up with some real-world ugly.
