To test out MailChimp's OAuth2 authentication with Django, just clone this project and replace a few variable and you're on your way.

1. Install the requirements by running pip install -r requirements.txt. You are using a virtualenv, right?

2. In settings.py, edit the following variables to be custom to your app.

   MAILCHIMP_CLIENT_ID MAILCHIMP_CLIENT_SECRET

3. On MailChimp.com, in your app settings, make sure you have http://127.0.0.1 as your redirect_uri setting.

4. Set up the DB. Just run python manage.py syncdb from the mailchimp_demo directory. You don't need to create any superusers.

5. Start the server with python manage.py runserver and load http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your browser of choice.

That's all!
