Snippet to add Twitter login to your Flask app. Basically I got this working (myreadinglist app) and adapted it slightly when testing.

### Steps

• Create Twitter app, see printscreen below, note the Callback URL.

• Note down consumer_key and consumer_secret

• Set env vars (and/or persist them in your .bashrc):

    $ export PYB_100D_TW_KEY=abc
    $ export PYB_100D_TW_SECRET=def
    $ export PYB_100D_APP_SECRET=ghi
  

• Start app:

    $ python app.py
  

Demo

Create app:

Login:

Twitter asks you to authorize the app:

Logout:

TODO

Do actual stuff with Twitter API (load feed, post, etc)
