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" bellow), 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 1.x.x is stable and I don't plan to spend time adding missing functionalities. I still accept your pull requests. Here is the references documentation.
I'm currently developing the version 2 of PyGithub. Here is the documentation, including a migration planning.
- Work around the API v3 returning
nullin some paginated responses, thanks erichaase for the bug report
It's now quicker to list what's not covered by v2! So, this is not covered by v2:
- comments
- events, hooks
- GitHub Enterprise specific APIs
- search
- authorizations, applications
- statuses, deployments, releases
- stats
You can see what's not covered in details in the unimplemented.*.yml files, or in the reference documentation.
Do not hesitate to open an issue to discuss anything.

I tweet each new release. I rarely tweet, and always about software development, so you might want to follow me to stay informed.
A lot of things including the following URLs, and every new things published by GitHub recently. Being able to implement new GitHub features quicker is the main motivation for developing the v2 of PyGithub.
