That's OAuth2, which is quite unlike the OAuth1(a) that we
implemented. You cannot do OAuth1 with just requests, as far as I'm
aware. There's no documentation for PyPI OAuth as we're still waiting
for it to be used by someone to prove its usefulness.

There is, however, sample code in the pypi repository in the
oauth_test.py file that exercises the API. It uses the common oauth
library* with a convenience wrapper. This code is all you would need
to use the OAuth PyPI facility. I would be more than happy to help you
make use of it.
