FR: Support for authentication emulator

[karloskar]

• Operating System version: Ubuntu 20.04
• Firebase SDK version: 8.1.1
• Library version: 4.4.0
• Firebase Product: auth

It would be excellent if the Firebase Admin Python SDK could connect to the local authentication emulator. Similar issues exists for the Go version and for the Java version.

So, any news about it?

@hiranya911 ?

[hiranya911]

Nothing new to share. Although we do accept pull requests. Somebody just implemented this feature for our Go SDK. If somebody can port that change into this repo, we can take a look and get it ready for an upcoming release.

@muru thanks for the fix!
@hiranya911 could you please take a look? =)

[hiranya911]

Thanks for the PR @muru. I will take a look this week.

Hi there, isn't this already published via PyPi? Seems to be included since 5.0.0.
Shouldn't then the table in https://firebase.google.com/docs/emulator-suite/install_and_configure#admin_sdk_availability be updated to reflect that it is working with python?

@bobatsar You are correct! We just updated the table in https://firebase.google.com/docs/emulator-suite/install_and_configure#admin_sdk_availability. Thank you bringing this to our attention.
