Teaching myself the Google OAuth process

google-oauth.py

from urllib import urlencode
from urllib2 import Request, urlopen, HTTPError
from json import loads as jsonsload

dictionary_of_useful_things = {
  "client_id": "261777520064-etb9m51k800e6ucrcf767th54uc5nt7i.apps.googleusercontent.com",
  "client_secret": "{{ it's a secret. SSHHHhhh! }}",
  "redirect_uri": "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob",
  "grant_type": "authorization_code"
}

authorisation_request_url = r"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https%%3A%%2F%%2Fwww.googleapis.com%%2Fauth%%2Fplus.me&redirect_uri=%(redirect_uri)s&response_type=code&client_id=%(client_id)s" % dictionary_of_useful_things

print "Go to this url to allow the application access to your Google account: %s" % authorisation_request_url
dictionary_of_useful_things['code'] = raw_input("Paste the authorisation code here: ")
print "Thanks."

token_request_url = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"
encoded_token_request_params = urlencode(dictionary_of_useful_things)
request = Request(token_request_url, encoded_token_request_params)
try:
    response = urlopen(request)
    print "Success!"
    token = jsonsload(response.read())
    print token
except HTTPError, e:
    print "The page load failed with this error code %d because of this bloomin error: %s" % (e.code, e.read())

Really needs some tidying
