It provides a thin wrapper around HTTP clients, automatically signing requests with consumer credentials and handling the OAuth signature generation. The library has no external runtime dependencies and is designed to work as a low-level building block for higher-level OAuth integrations.\n\nThe package was originally forked from earlier OAuth implementations and has been refined with 100% unit test coverage and a simplified API. It extends from httplib2 for HTTP transport and uses a Request class based on dict for flexibility. However, the package is dormant\u2014its last release was in 2015 and it only declares support for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4, making it unsuitable for modern Python environments without verification of compatibility.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on this package. The library is dormant (last release 2015, last commit April 2024) and only declares support for Python 2.6\u20133.4. Modern Python applications should use oauth2-compatible alternatives or migrate to OAuth 2.0. If you must use OAuth 1.0, verify compatibility with your Python version first."},"id":"oauth2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oauth2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/oauth2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/oauth2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-09-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"oauth2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"library for OAuth version 1.9"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":611788,"position":5760,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.9.0.post1"}
