Hello,

This is my first time using the google api so forgive me if this is a dumb 
question. I'm attempting to get an authentication code to access a user's 
fusion table data. I am stuck at the very first stage though. I'm using the 
python version of the OAuth process. Here is what I have so far:

     flow = OAuth2WebServerFlow(client_id = ...,
                                client_secret=os.path.join(os.getcwd() + 
"client_secrets.json"),
                               scope="...",
                               redirect_uri="urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob")

    auth_uri = flow.step1_get_authorize_url()

following the tutorial here: 
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/guide/aaa_oauth the 
next command is:

    credentials = flow.step2_exchange(code)

but where is the code!? I am running an installed app, so I cannot use a 
redirect_uri to a website, and I haven't set up localhost to receive it 
yet, as I am just starting. I am very confused, "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob" 
is supposed to put the code into the address bar of a web browser correct? 
But my app isn't in a web browser, its just a python script. Is one 
supposed to pop up? Nothing does. And I've checked the address bars of all 
of my open tabs in chrome and there's nothing there. Literally nothing 
happens when I run the first two lines, and I can't execute the credentials 
= ... line without having a code object. I've tried running it through 
terminal and through IDLE and neither works. 

I feel like I am missing something incredibly obvious here, but I can't 
find any information about this. Has anyone run into this problem before?
Thanks for your help
