No way to use Auto_refresh_url, Auto_refresh_kwargs and Token_updater on OAuth2UserHandler

[fabge]

I am trying to set up an automated token refresh flow. The documentation for tweepy.OAuth2UserHandler shows the following 3 entries:

Auto_refresh_url
Refresh token endpoint URL, must be HTTPS. Supply this if you wish the client to automatically refresh your access tokens.

Auto_refresh_kwargs
Extra arguments to pass to the refresh token endpoint.

Token_updater
Method with one argument, token, to be used to update your token database on automatic token refresh. If not set a TokenUpdated warning will be raised when a token has been refreshed. This warning will carry the token in its token argument.

However I cannot find a way to pass those arguments while instantiating from tweepy.OAuth2UserHandler. As far as I can see, the code has to be extended something like below. Notice the **kwargs keyword (could also be made more explicit).

class OAuth2UserHandler(OAuth2Session):
    """OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow with PKCE (User Context)
    authentication handler

    .. versionadded:: 4.5
    """

    def __init__(self, *, client_id, redirect_uri, scope, client_secret=None, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(client_id, redirect_uri=redirect_uri, scope=scope, **kwargs)
        if client_secret is not None:
            self.auth = HTTPBasicAuth(client_id, client_secret)
        else:
            self.auth = None

Is there any guidance around this? It seems this feature is not working...

I'm also trying to use OAuth2 with a refresh token. It seems there are pull requests open at the moment which enable usage of a refresh token

@fabge We can just hijack the code from PR #1806 :)
