# Welcome to Python Social Auth’s documentation! Python Social Auth aims to be an easy-to-setup social authentication and authorization mechanism for Python projects supporting protocols like OAuth (1 and 2), OpenID and others. The initial codebase is derived from [django-social-auth](http://github.com/omab/django-social-auth) with the idea of generalizing the process to suit the different frameworks around, providing the needed tools to bring support to new frameworks. [django-social-auth](http://github.com/omab/django-social-auth) itself was a product of modified code from [django-twitter-oauth](https://github.com/henriklied/django-twitter-oauth) and [django-openid-auth](https://launchpad.net/django-openid-auth) projects. The project is now split into smaller modules to isolate and reduce responsibilities and improve reusability. Code and other contributions are welcome. The code is hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/python-social-auth/). For AI assistants, the [documentation index](llms.txt) links to Markdown versions of the pages. The [complete documentation](llms-full.txt) is also available as a single Markdown file.
