Hi All, I am sensing a need for a library which allows for a user to sign into Django apps using any of their existing credentials with another site, and I wanted to start a library project for providing this to Django programmers. I thought I would ask here first and see if there is something existing before I start. Essentially this will give the Django site creator the ability to let their users sign in with Facebook Connect, Google Friend Connect, Yahoo sign-in, Twitter Sign-in, Open ID, or generic OAuth. The module will automatically create a local Django user linked to whatever the Profile module is after the user signs in to the Django driven site.
I'd like it to be as simple to use as possible, and use as much existing code as possible. For example, the Open ID sign in would use the existing Open ID Django code which is out there. The Facebook Connect sign in would use all the great exising Django Facebook code that's out there. I'd also like it to be as modular and fail-proof as possible, so that if someone hasn't yet (for example) set up their Facebook API key or whatever, they can still support some of the other login methods on their site. I guess this will be a package consisting of mostly some different authentication backends, but probably a bunch of other glue code and templates to support the myriad of different sign-on methods which are out there. Will this be useful to others? Does anyone want to help me by integrating their existing external-sign-in-code into this library?
