This is a Python (2 and 3) library to access the Github API v3. With it, you can manage Github resources (repositories, user profiles, organizations, etc.) from Python scripts.

It covers almost the full API (see "What's missing" below), and all methods are tested against the real Github site.

Should you have any question, any remark, or if you find a bug, or if there is something you can do with the API but not with PyGithub, please open an issue.

For further details, please refer to the reference documentation at readthedocs.org.

My current priorities are not compatible with doing a good job maintaining PyGithub, so I'm looking for volunteers to take over. Please see #297.
