Question
There are plenty of them out there but a lot of them are old - can anyone recommend a plugin which they recently implemented?
The only thing I really care about is gmail/yahoo, facebook and twitter are optional.
EDIT: To address the answer,
Confusion on using django socialauth
^ the author says there are newer forks, those are what I'm looking for.
Solution
That's kind of what's cool about github - it tracks forks for you and draws a cool little network graph. From that, you can easily find the most recently updated fork
Just click on the 'Network' button to see the graph.
OTHER TIPS
Have you looked at Django Socialauth?
This is a application to enable authentication via various third party sites. In particular it allows logging in via
- Gmail
- Yahoo(Essentially openid)
- OpenId
django-social-auth by Matías Aguirre is an implementation which looks pretty active as a project, as of today.
According to the README it supports all major providers (and some contributed others), basic user data population and multiple social accounts association to single users.
Edit: django-social-auth
is now called python-social-auth.
django-allauth by Raymond Penners is a viable alternative specifically for Django. It supports almost as many providers, and is also very active as a project.
