How to get a *maintained* OAuth library for Python 3 in Ubuntu

OAuth library, python 3
=================

- Current library in Quantal http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/quantal/python3-oauthlib from https://github.com/idan/oauthlib
- Developers prefered communication is github issues but feel free to ping ib-lundgren (github account) or any other developer.
- Developer focus is to follow IETF specifications (OAuth2 core just recently as proposed standard)
- Communication developers <---> Ubuntu Community?
- Any other libraries available?

Comments
Client is more important in Ubuntu (Desktop) at the moment than server side as python3 is in the far future for server side.
Python 3.3 is for raring.

Example of porting client from python-oauth to python-oauthlib:
https://code.launchpad.net/~barry/piston-mini-client/lp1077083/+merge/135449

# <Daviey> xnox: maas uses it to create an authenticated metadata service between master and its nodes.
# barry, so where are we getting server from?

barry: In general, server probably doesn't need to be ported to Python 3 (not on desktop), so use whatever you have to use. Still, we do need a *maintained* server library, and python-oauth is definitely not that. It has not been updated since 2009.
