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

It covers the full API, 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.

PyGithub is stable. I will maintain it up to date with the API, and fix bugs if any, but I don't plan new heavy developments.

Summer 2013 - I'm traveling

You may have noticed I'm a bit slower than usual to manage your issues and pull requests. That's because I'm traveling a lot this summer. Please be patient.
