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
DataStoreobject 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
OAuth. - The
Requestclass now extends fromdict. - The library is likely no longer compatible with Python 2.3.
