brittle_wit_core 0.0.3

Version-agnostic core for brittle_wit package

---

What is this?

This package contains the core of [brittle_wit](https://github.com/jbn/brittle_wit), a twitter lib for python. It works with Python 2.7, whereas brittle_wit does not. It’s extracted from the main library so that you can reuse this core code for authentication flows (e.g. on GAE).

Sample Authentication Flow with requests

from requests import request
from brittle_wit_core import (AppCredentials,
                              obtain_request_token,
                              extract_access_token,
                              redirect_url,
                              obtain_access_token,
                              extract_request_token)

# Loads via TWITTER_APP_KEY, TWITTER_APP_SECRET environmental variables.
APP_CRED = AppCredentials.load_from_env()

# Get an access token.
twitter_req, headers = obtain_request_token(APP_CRED)
resp = request(twitter_req.method,
               twitter_req.url,
               params=twitter_req.params,
               headers=headers)
oauth_token, oauth_secret = extract_request_token(resp.status_code,
                                                  resp.content.decode('utf8'))

# Redirect the user to a PIN page.
url = redirect_url(oauth_token)
print(url)
pin = input("PIN: ").strip()


# Turn their pin response into an access token.
twitter_req, headers = obtain_access_token(APP_CRED, oauth_token, pin)

resp = request(twitter_req.method,
               twitter_req.url,
               params=twitter_req.params,
               headers=headers)
d = extract_access_token(resp.status_code, resp.content.decode('utf8'))
print(d)
