Hmm... I understand your concern. I'm in favor of the second option because python-oauth needs to support 1.0a anyways. The new 1.0a support is very iffy right now but it's a start. > > Naturally, getting a newer version into the upstream here is the > preferred option :) We're willing to provide any engineering effort > required in testing and writing patches, I'm just nagging because I > want the changes to happen here where they can benefit the most people > rather than fixing this only for Ubuntu. That's very nice of you to offer help. If you'd like to help write some tests for 1.0 support or just check how the new code runs against your existing implementation, that would be super helpful. > Thanks a lot for everyones efforts on OAuth itself and writing these > libraries. Np. I just wish I could keep up a bit faster. Keep the patches coming though.
