Signing requests with python-oauth2 [closed]

Question

The Github page of python-oauth2 gives instructions on creating signed requests with req = oauth.Request(...), which returns a dictionary that can be signed. But how do I actually send these requests?

Answer 1

Just add this line at the end:

rs = urllib2.urlopen(req.to_url())

Where req is your Request object.

Answer 2

Look at the next step in the README.

Using the Client

import oauth2 as oauth

# Create your consumer with the proper key/secret.
consumer = oauth.Consumer(key="your-twitter-consumer-key", 
    secret="your-twitter-consumer-secret")

# Request token URL for Twitter.
request_token_url = "http://twitter.com/oauth/request_token"

# Create our client.
client = oauth.Client(consumer)

# The OAuth Client request works just like httplib2 for the most part.
resp, content = client.request(request_token_url, "GET")
print resp
print content
