github3.py 0.1a5

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

github3.py

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.
