Whoops, didn't notice the chronology. All the same: OAuthLib and its libraries cover the exact use-case you've laid out, just in a fashion that has some architectural benefits on top of the usability goals. The simple "OAuth for Humans" thing you're reaching for exists—it's https://github.com/requests/requests-oauthlib. Kenneth and I hashed this interface out before we started out on OAuthLib, and thus far it's the only shim library for OAuthLib I know of (though it's pretty simple to write something equivalent which bridges OAuthLib's domain knowledge and any given HTTP request implementation). I even rewrote Requests' underlying auth implementation to make this sort of thing possible. And now you have: oauth = OAuth1(client_key=key, client_secret=secret) r = requests.post(url=request_token_url, auth=oauth) I don't see OAuth1 getting sim
