Bug description:
  This bug tracks the removal of python-oauth from the archive.  (See
  also
  https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-r-python3-oauth
  for additional details).

  There are several very good reasons to remove python-oauth and port
  all reverse depends to python-oauthlib.

   * upstream oauth has been abandoned since 2009
   * upstream oauth only supports OAuth 1 (and probably not even the RFC 5849 standard)
   * upstream oauth only supports Python 2
   * upstream oauthlib is actively maintained
   * upstream oauthlib supports Python 2 and Python 3
   * upstream oauthlib supports RFC 5849 and the OAuth2 spec draft

  As of yet, we cannot remove python-oauth because of existing reverse
  dependencies.  I'll add each of those as bug tasks to this one for
  tracking purposes.  When the time comes, I'll subscribe ~ubuntu-
  archive to the bug to do the final deed.

  It will need to be blacklisted from Debian sync too.

  In the meantime, *please* don't write any new code using python-oauth!
  Use python-oauthlib.
