Pygithub3

Pygithub3 is a wrapper to the Github API v3, written in Python.

It has been developed with extensibility in mind, because the API is in a beta state, trying to achieve a very loosly coupled software.

It should be very easy to extend to support new requests and resources, because each is managed by itself.

Fast install

pip install pygithub3

Fast example

from pygithub3.github import Github

gh = Github()
copitux = gh.users.get('copitux')
copitux_followers = gh.users.followers.list('copitux')
copitux_followers.all()  # lazy iterator that must be consumed

gh.users.set_credentials(login='github_user', password='github_password')
# or: gh.users.set_token('token_code')
github_user = gh.users.get()
gh.users.followers.set_credentials(login='another_user', password='another_password')
another_user_followers = gh.users.followers.list().all()
""" Continue...
gh.users.emails.set_credentials( ...
github_user_emails = gh.users.emails.list()

Each service (users, emails, followers ...) is isolated from the rest. Maybe in
future releases the behaviour of Github component changes to share configuration
