"""Python client library for the Facebook Platform.
This client library is designed to support the Graph API and the official
Facebook JavaScript SDK, which is the canonical way to implement
Facebook authentication. Read more about the Graph API at
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api. You can download the Facebook
JavaScript SDK at http://github.com/facebook/connect-js/.
If your application is using Google AppEngine's webapp framework, your
usage of this module might look like this:
user = facebook.get_user_from_cookie(self.request.cookies, key, secret)
if user:
graph = facebook.GraphAPI(user["access_token"])
profile = graph.get_object("me")
friends = graph.get_connections("me", "friends")

See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api for complete documentation
for the API.
The Graph API is made up of the objects in Facebook (e.g., people, pages,
events, photos) and the connections between them (e.g., friends,
photo tags, and event RSVPs). This client provides access to those
primitive types in a generic way. For example, given an OAuth access
token, this will fetch the profile of the active user and the list
of the user's friends:
graph = facebook.GraphAPI(access_token)
user = graph.get_object("me")
friends = graph.get_connections(user["id"], "friends")
You can see a list of all of the objects and connections supported
by the API at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/.
You can obtain an access token via OAuth or by using the Facebook
JavaScript SDK. See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
for details.
If you are using the JavaScript SDK, you can use the
get_user_from_cookie() method below to get the OAuth access token
for the active user from the cookie saved by the SDK.

line 219: replace json.loads() with _parse_json()

I used your "hacked" version in my app and got a bug at line 273.

Obviously, you don't handle the case where there is no "access_token" attribute in token_response. This other version: https://github.com/martey/python-sdk/blob/master/src/facebook.py handles it.

Therefore I made a mix between both of your hacked version guys.

Excellent hacked version, thank you! A shame that the "official" repo is completely outdated.

This saved my ass, thanks you so much for contributing this kind of stuff.
