webapp2 based web application development, add social login

[Csaba Csepeli]

I developed a prototype application on Google App Engine. The progress was great at first but if the game getting more serious it seems that webapp2 framework has its limits. For example I can not find working solution to add social login.

Hello, 

Thank you for using Google Groups!

Based on my understanding of what you have described, you can implement OAuth within Google App engine. You may find further details of this here.

However, I was able to find StackOverflow threads that revolve around this issue with Webapp2. In regards to specific social logins, I was able to find the following thread here that discusses how to integrate Facebook login within App Engine. Though, I believe it would be worthwhile for you to check out the discussion here as the entire thread discusses "Webapp2 Authentication and Login". Additionally, there is a third party boilerplate provided by the community on that thread for what you are attempting to do. You may feel free to explore the links shared to determine if the ideas discussed in them would be applicable in your use case.

I hope this helps!

harmit is right, but at a fairly low level. i've encapsulated the oauth implementations for lots of existing social sites and integrated them with app engine in the oauth-dropins package. feel free to try it out: https://oauth-dropins.appspot.com/ . if you like it, you can pip install it into your app's virtualenv and use it from there. more details in the docs: https://oauth-dropins.readthedocs.io/
