Hi, is it possible to integrate Discourse into a Phyton based Django site? I ask because Discourse’s backend is written in Ruby on Rails. Many thanks, Torsten

It might help if you could describe what you’re trying to achieve. Our main site runs on Django and it was fairly easy to set up SSO for Discourse. Other than logging in and copying some basic user info, that’s all the integration we need. So if that’s enough for you too, then yes :slight_smile:

Yes, that’s pretty much what I wanted to hear :slight_smile: Many thanks for your swift response.

@vinothkannans Thanks for posting that link. However, it isn’t available or is private. Do you know if that example for sso with Django is available publicly? @bartv any links / more thoughts you could share on examples of sso between Django <> Discourse Thanks!

For anyone else looking I did find this gist: https://gist.github.com/alee/3c6161809ef78966454e434a8ed350d1

Anyone has any links/doc/guide to share? It has been close to 2 years so what used to work may become invalid :slight_smile:
