This is a Python library to access the [Github API v3](http://developer.github.com/v3).
With it, you can manage your [Github](http://github.com) 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, 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](https://github.com/jacquev6/PyGithub/issues).
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.

Download and install
====================
This package is in the [Python Package Index](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyGithub), so `easy_install PyGithub` or `pip install PyGithub` should be enough.
You can also clone it on [Github](http://github.com/jacquev6/PyGithub).
Tutorial
========
First create a Gihtub 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 )
You can also create a Github instance with an OAuth token:
g = Github( token )
Or without authentication:
g = Github()
