Python wrapper for the GitHub API (http://developer.github.com/v3)

Project description

github3.py

Build Status

Eventually this will be a python module to access the GitHub v3 API.

This is not stable yet and there is no backwards compatibility yet. There will likely be some changes which change behavior in the near future.

Easy Cloning

Assuming you have git 1.7.x (although I’m not entirely certain what version it was introduced in) you can perform git clone --recursive git://github.com/sigmavirus24/github3.py.git github3.py to clone this and the submodule at the same time. Otherwise you have to do:

$ git clone git://github.com/sigmavirus24/github3.py.git
$ cd github3.py
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
