Consider changing to oauthlib or forking oauth2

[jaitaiwan]

Hi Guys,

I've recently tried installing Flask-Social to find that the install failed. Tracing back the error and the dependencies it seems that the installation has failed because there is a syntax error: print "unable to find version in %s" % (VERSIONFILE,).

I assume this is due to the fact that I'm using python 3 rather than python 2. Upon further investigation, it seems that the oauth2 lib hasn't been updated in some 3 or so years so I'd like to propose moving to oauthlib as it is actively maintained and supports python3 or possibly forking the origin oauth2 library and updating it to be python3 compatible.

Cheers

I have an open pull request with python-oauth on github joestump/python-oauth2#158 which will hopefully be accepted and allow python3 to continue working for the short run. If that doesn't get accepted (and I don't think it will because of the duration the project has been without changes) then I'd like to suggest we implement the fork I've created CentricWebEstate/python-oauth2. It's been tested with a live python3 site and it's in my best interests that it works well.

You are looking for Flask-OAuthlib.

Flask-Social requires flask-oauth2 which is why I'm interested.

This PR will update Flask-Social to Flask-OAuthlib. I will try to do some work today to get things merged in.

Hi,
i still see the same issue when i try to run pip install Flask-Social.

Is there some other way to install this?

[eriktaubeneck]

Just did pip install flask-social in a clean virtual environment without issue. Maybe you have other dependency issues.

[donalcarpenter]

i just tried the same locally in a fresh virtual environment, but i still get the same error...

You are using pip version 6.0.8, however version 6.1.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

may actually be your issue. I vaguely remember some issue around setuptools. You can also upgrade your base install of virtualenv so that new environments will have the latest version of pip.

can't install either with python 3. I've tried in a clean virtual environment and with up-to-date pip (v1.1.1)

I don't think oauth2 is not Python 3 compatible, which is blocking flask-oauth and flask-social. See caniusepython3.com

OAuth2 is included in the fork https://github.com/CentricWebEstate/python-oauth2
