It wraps oauth2client and adds thread- and process-safe token caching on the local machine. The plugin supports both user accounts and service accounts (via JSON or .p12 key files), and allows you to supply credentials through .boto config files, environment variables, or programmatic fallback functions.\n\nThe package is designed for applications that use Boto to interact with GCS and need OAuth 2.0 authentication. It handles the credential lifecycle\u2014obtaining, refreshing, and caching tokens\u2014so your application doesn't have to. However, it carries a large dependency footprint (10 runtime packages including oauth2client, google-auth, httplib2, and cryptographic libraries) and has not been actively maintained; the latest release was 416 days ago.","worth_installing":"No\u2014not for new projects. The package is marked Development Status :: 7 - Inactive and has not been updated in 416 days. If you maintain an existing Boto application that already depends on this plugin, it may continue to work, but migrating to a maintained authentication approach is strongly recommended."},"id":"gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Auth plugin allowing use the use of OAuth 2.0 credentials for Google Cloud Storage in the Boto library."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":654597,"position":5521,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.3"}
