Webpy framework is easy to setup, once that python-social-auth is installed or accessible in the PYTHONPATH, just add the needed configurations to make it run.
The Webpy built-in app depends on sqlalchemy, there’s no support for others ORMs yet but pull-requests are welcome.
Add the needed settings into web.config store. Settings are prefixed with SOCIAL_AUTH_ but there’s a helper for it:
from social.utils import setting_name
web.config[setting_name('USER_MODEL')] = 'models.User'
web.config[setting_name('LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL')] = '/done/'
web.config[setting_name('AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS')] = (
'social.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2',
...
)
Add all the settings needed for the app (check Configuration section for details).
Add the social application into URLs:
from social.apps.webpy_app import app as social_app
urls = (
...
'', social_app.app_social
...
)
python-social-auth depends on sessions storage to keep some essential values, usually redirects and state parameters used to validate authentication process on OAuth providers.
The Webpy built-in app expects the session reference to be available under web.web_session so ensure it’s available there.
Like the other apps, the User model must be defined on settings since a reference to it is kept on UserSocialAuth instance. Define like this:
web.config[setting_name('USER_MODEL')] = 'models.User'
Where the value is the import path to the User model used on your project.
