This is a Python library to access the Github API v3.

With it, you can manage your Github resources (repositories, user profiles, organizations, etc.) from Python scripts.

It is still a work in progress, but I'm sure I'll finish it soon. The aim is to cover the full API in version 1.0.

Download and install

This package is in the Python Package Index. You can also clone it on Github.

Tutorial

First create a Gihub instance:

from github import Github

g = Github( "user", "password" )

Then play with your Github objects:

for repo in g.get_user().get_repos():
    print repo.name
    repo.edit( has_wiki = False )
