History
This code was originally forked from Leah Culver and Andy Smith's oauth.py code. Some of the tests come from a fork by Vic Fryzel, while a revamped Request class and more tests were merged in from Mark Paschal's fork. A number of notable differences exist between this code and its forefathers:
- 100% unit test coverage.
- The <code>DataStore</code> object has been completely ripped out. While creating unit tests for the library I found several substantial bugs with the implementation and confirmed with Andy Smith that it was never fully baked.
- Classes are no longer prefixed with <code>OAuth</code>.
- The <code>Request</code> class now extends from <code>dict</code>.
- The library is likely no longer compatible with Python 2.3.
- The <code>Client</code> class works and extends from <code>httplib2</code>. It's a thin wrapper that handles automatically signing any normal HTTP request you might wish to make.
