Django Register with Oauth – Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo! and Hotmail (Live)

At first this seems simple enough, allow users to register for your site using one of their existing accounts at popular sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo! and Hotmail (Live). Then you realize that each one has a slightly different oauth implementation, the documentation is not that great, their SDK is out-of-date (looking at you Yahoo), various tutorials on the web are incomplete / out-of-date / simply wrong, or the existing packages provide more functionality than you need (i.e. you’ve already got a user management framework in place).

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/live/
