Short answer: you need to fill in YOUR_URL in https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth? client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL, next the facebook app (in python) needs to filter the return URL and yank out the access_token in the callback.

For more information, drop by https://apps.facebook.com/fileglu/technical - i am using facebook's access_token and dropbox's access_token to enable dropbox access inside Facebook App.

Have hooks for Google Oauth 2.0, anyone requires google docs access within Facebook?

You cannot use this. That is part of client side auth. URI fragments (the stuff after the #) are never sent to the server by the browser. You need to look up server side auth.
