[Twisted-Python] Silly txoauth with Twisted Client Question

[Laurens Van Houtven]

txoauth is something I started, then I realized I really hate oauth, then
it was "adopted" by simplegeo who afaik proceeded to not do anything with
it, and then I readopted it on github. There's not much work on it, but
what's there has a complete test suite.

ISTR glyph at one point describing an entire three-party oauth interaction
to me on the mailing list in Cred terms. If that knowledge didn't make it
into txoauth as it stands to day, perhaps it could still be dug up ;)

I had a hard time understanding it at first as well, but Cred'd work just
fine for the client too. The way it would work, IIRC, is that you run cred
on your client. The credentials checker is simply something that makes
remote requests. The realm returns, as always, an authenticated client.
Presumably, that object would compose an Agent to do what it needs to do.

Best of luck! I haven't touched oauth in years, but hopefully it'll work
out for you.
