I’m using the nice django-social-auth in one of my projects.

Basically I would like to be able to login without leaving the current page (whithout even refreshing it).

I thought about simply using target="_blank" in my provider links

<a href="{% url socialauth_begin service %}"
  rel="nofollow" target="_blank">{{ service|title }}</a>

But of course it is redirecting to the default location after the successful login.
Is there a way to automatically close this new window on success so the user gets the previous page ?

    With some JS and some parameters for the backend, you could open a popup window where the user can do the auth (some backends accept parameters that generate a different auth dialog layout). In that popup the user will proceed with the auth process and the popup could be closed with some JS too when the user is redirected back to the final URL.
