I'm a fan of cherrypy for rapid development of UIs when exploring problem spaces which benefity from some UI to share tools or data. In the course of working with cherrypy, I've put together some recipies which have prooven useful, and shared here. Docs are not inteneded to be exhaustive, these are examples only (also, no tests).
Quick solution to get google oauth2 authentication working with cherrypy. The script requires some variables to be set at the head of the script (which would in the real world be set more pleasantly).
- Go to your google console, get your oauth credentials and register your app importantly, your callback url.
- Save your credentials in
client_secret.json. - Create your cert files and save in
certs/{server.crt,server.key}. - I set up the following conda env:
conda create -n CPGOA2 -c conda-forge cherrypy cherrypy==18.8.0 google-api-python-client google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2. - Activate it:
conda activate CPGOA2. - run the server:
python goauth2_cpy.py .. You'll see output blocking stdout like:
python goauth2_cpy.py .
