How to save user to db without 'request' in register_by_access_token(request, backend) function?

[Matusko]

I would really like to use psa as authentication system (im using django) for my single page app. I have a function exchanging authorisation_code given by client for access_token like this:

def auth(request):
code = request.POST['code']
provider = 'google-oauth2'
...
return access_token, client_id, expires_in, token_type

If i want to create and persist my user using this example http://python-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/use_cases.html#signup-by-oauth-access-token
I dont really know what the request should be.

Is there some way how to create a db record from this using psa?

@Matusko not sure what you're exactly asking here...

I don't think I understand you correctly, but isn't this user = backend.do_auth(request.GET.get('access_token')) the part of the example that you need?

It seems like you've already got the request as part of your function definition.
