The v13 release is not just a release either, it is also our official announcement of participation in the annual #hacktoberfest. 💻🥨
We know that we're a few days late to the party, but v13 had to get ready before. 😉
This year, the fest is opt-in for projects and we definitely want to opt into taking part in this great event! If you ever thought about starting coding or giving back to your favourite open source repositories, now is the time! Head over to the hacktoberfest website to learn more about it.
We already prepared some issues on our repositories and aim towards opening more issues for starters, but feel free to begin a hunt for improvements and fixes by yourself!

A generic, spec-compliant, thorough implementation of the #OAuth request-signing logic for python
OAuth often seems complicated and difficult-to-implement. There are several prominent libraries for handling OAuth requests, but they all suffer from one or both of the following:
They predate the OAuth 1.0 spec, AKA RFC 5849.
They predate the OAuth 2.0 spec, AKA RFC 6749.
They assume the usage of a specific HTTP request library.
OAuthLib is a generic utility which implements the logic of OAuth without assuming a specific HTTP request object or web framework. Use it to graft OAuth client support onto your favorite HTTP library, or provide support onto your favourite web framework. If you’re a maintainer of such a library, write a thin veneer on top of OAuthLib and get OAuth support for very little effort.

OAuth 2 Simplified
Sun, Jul 29, 2012 9:30am -07:00
Many services such as #Facebook, #Github, and #Google have already deployed OAuth 2 servers, and deployed implementations win.
The #OAuth 2 spec itself leaves many decisions up to the implementor. Instead of describing all possible decisions that need to be made to successfully implement OAuth 2, this post makes decisions that are appropriate for most implementations.
This post is an attempt to describe OAuth 2 in a simplified format to help developers and service providers implement the protocol.
