What is this?
This package contains the core of
brittle_wit, a twitter lib for python.
It works with Python 2.7, whereas brittle_wit does not. It's extracted from
the main library so that you can reuse this core code for authentication
flows (e.g. on GAE).
Sample Authentication Flow with requests
from requests import request
from brittle_wit_core import (AppCredentials,
obtain_request_token,
extract_access_token,
redirect_url,
obtain_access_token,
extract_request_token)
# Loads via TWITTER_APP_KEY, TWITTER_APP_SECRET environmental variables.
APP_CRED = AppCredentials.load_from_env()
# Get an access token.
twitter_req, headers = obtain_request_token(APP_CRED)
resp = request(twitter_req.method,
twitter_req.url,
params=twitter_req.params,
headers=headers)
oauth_token, oauth_secret = extract_request_token(resp.status_code,
resp.content.decode('utf8'))
# Redirect the user to a PIN page.
url = redirect_url(oauth_token)
print(url)
pin = input("PIN: ").strip()
# Turn their pin response into an access token.
twitter_req, headers = obtain_access_token(APP_CRED, oauth_token, pin)
resp = request(twitter_req.method,
twitter_req.url,
params=twitter_req.params,
headers=headers)
d = extract_access_token(resp.status_code, resp.content.decode('utf8'))
print(d)
