Currently, Launchpad doesn't support OAuth2, so while I agree this would be an
important feature for a general purpose Python 3 compatible library, it's not
a requirement for my immediate needs.

Rodney Dawes is the other person who was talking about a Python 3 OAuth
library, but he is also only needs OAuth1 atm, and his library is not yet
ready for a Python 3 compatible release.  So I think right now, there is
basically nothing available.

I'm going to experiment with porting the original oauth library to Python 3.
If it works out, I'll figure out what to do from there.
