    What is the best way to authenticate to the REST API from python running on my local machine? I don’t want to use basic authentication, so from what I can see that leaves me with either OAuth or cookie authentication. I tried using the python wordpress-api library, with the WP OAuth Server on the server side, but I haven’t been able to get it to authenticate. Is this the best way to authenticate from a python script, or is there a better way?

    Thanks
