Authors:	Ask Solem ([email protected])
Version:	0.1.3

This is an experimental python library implementing all of the features available in version 2 of the Github API.

Note This software is not finished. And is likely to change in the near future.

Introduction

You should read the developer documentation for the Github API first.

Installation

You can install python-github2 either via the Python Package Index (PyPI) or from source.

To install using pip,:

$ pip install github2

To install using easy_install,:

$ easy_install github2

If you have downloaded a source tarball you can install it by doing the following,:

$ python setup.py build
# python setup.py install # as root

Creating a client

>>> from github2.client import Github
>>> github = Github(username="ask", api_token=".......")

Or for an unauthenticated connection:

>>> github = Github()

API calls are limited by github.com to 1 per second by default. To have the Github client enforce this and avoid rate limit errors, pass requests_per_second in:

>>> from github2.client import Github
>>> github = Github(username="ask", api_token=".......", requests_per_second=1)
