What is the difference between django-social-auth and python-social-auth?

I'm confused very much, because django-social-auth and python-social-auth seem to be the same, but they are not. In fact python-social-auth is based on django-social-auth.

Now I can't find any resource that compares those two by any means. I can't even find a statement in the python-social-auth docs why they made their own project instead of just working with django-social-auth.

For my project I need to settle on one of those two. Can you give me any help to make this choice?

Think you for your time.

Solution

  • django-social-auth has been deprecated in favor of python-social-auth. It even says this in the django-social-auth README.

    python-social-auth was built using django-social-auth as a foundation. The main advantage/difference is that it now supports multiple frameworks.
