The OAuth protocol provides a secure way for users to share their information with third-party web resources. Twitter is pushing their OAuth 1.0 login while Facebook adopts OAuth 2.0. The difference between OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 are well described in this article. Mainly, OAuth 2.0 uses SSL connection to ensure the security and simplify the authorize process while OAuth 1.0 uses signature to avoid the overhead caused by SSL.
For python users, this library may be used for both OAuth 1.0(the Client class) and OAuth 2.0(the Client2 class).
