Authomatic is a framework agnostic library for Python web applications with a minimalistic but powerful interface which simplifies authentication of users by third party providers like Facebook or Twitter through standards like OAuth and OpenID.

For more info visit the project page at http://authomatic.github.io/authomatic.

Authomatic is currently going through the process of migrating to becoming a community-managed project. Please bear with us during these changes. We hope to begin work on updating the project and working on Issues and PRs soon. Many thanks to peterhudec for all his hard work for creating and maintaining authomatic!
