Authomatic
is an authorization / authentication
client library for Python web applications
inspired by Alex Vagin’s Simpleauth.
In fact, I almost named it Deadsimpleauth,
but that name would be too long
for a succinct library.

Tip

Most of the providers don’t support authorization from apps running on localhost. Probably the best solution is to use an arbitrary domain as an alias of the `127.0.0.1` IP address.

You can do this on UNIX systems by adding an alias to the `/etc/hosts` file.

        # /etc/hosts
        127.0.0.1    localhost
        127.0.0.1    yourlocalhostalias.com
