"""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")

* Modified by Ben Kamens to fix urllib bug on GAE.
* https://github.com/spoon16/python-sdk/commit/1785d233b8cfd8309ddd1ae99918266c61d96327

    """A client for the Facebook Graph API.

    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.
