Satellizer is designed to be used without auth libraries such as Passport (Node), OmniAuth (Ruby). On Python-side all you need is the requests library. It is so by design to avoid relying on third-party libraries. Additionally, if I were to implement it with a server-side auth library there is no choice but to use full page redirects, i.e redirect to Facebook, authorize the app, redirect back to the app.

Thanks a million for the response. I think that's appropriate, but I've found sort of a hybrid solution that I was already working on before satellizer came out, incorporating a fix that looks vaguely like this:

That said, I'm working through piecing that together with satellizer, and I wanted to give you a huge thanks for including the server examples in so many languages, which ought to be of use.
