Django Social Auth

Django Social Auth is an easy way to setup social authentication/authorization mechanism for Django projects.

Crafted using base code from django-twitter-oauth and django-openid-auth, it implements a common interface to define new authentication providers from third parties.

You can view this app's documentation on Read the Docs_ too.
