The company I work for recently became an Okta Partner... and I'm a Software Engineer that primarily works in Python.

I am expecting this quarter to start building out a platform that will use Okta for authentication and authorization.

Do you think Okta would be willing to pay for some engineering hours if we were to take on the mantle of producing a modern Python SDK? If so, I'll be happy to start running that up the line here.

Failing that, are there any resources you recommend for going forward with Python and Okta, in addition to using generic OAuth libraries?

That is awesome! I'm going to forward this comment to our DevEx team and see if that's something we could do. Sounds great to me =D

Excellent -- I sent you an email to the address in your profile from my work email in case anything comes of it.

I don't particularly need a Python SDK. What I need is extremely clear documentation on how to roll my own authentication code against Okta - the equivalent of https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/author...

We use Okta internally where I work and it's been fairly smooth as far as the end user experience. I'm sure it hasn't been perfect but it's always a pleasure having one sign on for everything

My team did use Okta React briefly for an internal project but we couldn't get it to play nicely with Cypress (e2e testing) so we ended up removing it sadly.

I'm pretty sure we had just implemented it incorrectly though since we were still getting to grips with React at the time (as a team that previously had little to no combined UI experience) :)

Interesting, someone I worked with at a previous job left there to go to Okta. He did our Django/python Auth stuff. His Linkedin says he's still at Okta.
