Google app engin, python: Google, Facebook, Twitter, OpenID account

Question

Dear all,

Do anyone know if there are alternatives of Django-SocialAuth which support Google, Facebook, Twitter and OpenID account.

I prefer webapp version instead of Django.

Or if you have done once would you mind sharing it?

Thanks in million.

Answer 1

try checking out http://code.google.com/p/gaema/

from the gaema introduction,

gaema is a library that provides various authentication systems for Google App Engine. It is basically the tornado.auth module extracted to work on App Engine and independently of any framework.

It supports login using:

• OpenId
• OAuth
• Google Accounts
• Facebook
• FriendFeed Twitter

You can use one, all or a mix of these auth methods. This is done with minimal overhead: gaema is small and doesn't have any dependencies, thanks to the awesome work done by the Tornado crew.

gaema only authenticates an user, and doesn't provide persistence such as sessions or secure cookies to keep the user logged in. Because each framework do these things in a different way, it is up to the framework to implement these mechanisms.

You can get gaema from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gaema.
