Oauthlib: el alcance es opcional en el código response_type?

Encontré el mismo comportamiento y tampoco lo entiendo. RFC dice que el alcance es opcional, no se debe plantear una excepción.

Este también me mordió. Lo parcheé como un mono.

# A bit of monkey patching here. OAuthlib states that scope are optional, also
# RFC6749 confirms this, however, one method of the AuthorizationCodeGrant
# class requires scopes to be defined. As I don't know if we are going to use
# scopes, or what the scopes might be, I am going to monkey-patch this class to
# make scopes optional.

# https://github.com/idan/oauthlib/issues/406

# Some imports we need for the patching of the monkey...
from oauthlib.oauth2.rfc6749 import errors


def create_authorization_response(self, request, token_handler):
    """
    Monkey-patched version of this method that allows undefined scopes.
    """
    try:
        # Right here is where the base method checks scopes. We omit this check
        # but the rest of the method body is identical.

        self.validate_authorization_request(request)

from oauthlib.oauth2.rfc6749.grant_types.authorization_code import (
    AuthorizationCodeGrant, log

AuthorizationCodeGrant.create_authorization_response = \
    create_authorization_response

# Now we can import the rest of what we need from oauthlib.

Tiene razón, ya se ha propuesto un PR relacionado con esto para Implicit en https://github.com/oauthlib/oauthlib/pull/475 , ¡deberíamos extenderlo a AuthCode!
