Django Social Auth (github.com/omab)

This isn't a new project -- I first discovered and used it on a social video app I helped build for a startup last summer. That said, it's well-written and the de facto standard for integrating facebook authentication (though it supports many other backends) in Django apps. Recommended!


I upvoted this because, a few months ago, I had a hell of a time sifting through the sheer number of similar, but inoperable/poorly documented Django backends. In the end, I rolled my own, but I wish I had known about this project.


It'd be great if this supported BrowserID.

Edit: Oh, hey, there's a bug filed for that: https://github.com/omab/django-social-auth/issues/228


BrowserID support was just pushed. https://github.com/omab/django-social-auth/commit/4136ea49e5...

Edit: Link to changeset.


Don't have much to contribute other than it is very good. I've used for a project of mine and it was very easy to setup and get going.


That's good to know, thanks.


Any info with this post? Is this a new release? New features? Anything?


Seems that just sharing...
