create app.py
from social_flask.routes import social_auth from social_flask.utils import DEFAULTS
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(name) app.register_blueprint(social_auth)
app.secret_key = 'super secret string' # Change this!
app.config["KEY"] = 'your client id' # Change this!
app.config["SECRET"] = 'your client secret' # Change this!
DEFAULTS['AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS'] = ['social_core.backends.github.GithubOAuth2']
if name == 'main':
app.run(debug = True) -
