Gidgethub is available on PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/gidgethub/>
_.
::
python3 -m pip install gidgethub
Gidgethub requires Python version 3.7 and up.
The key goal is to provide a base library for the
GitHub API <https://docs.github.com/>
_ which performs no I/O of its own (a
sans-I/O <https://sans-io.readthedocs.io/>
_ library). This allows users to
choose whatever HTTP library they prefer while parceling out GitHub-specific
details to this library. This base library is then built upon to provide an
abstract base class to a cleaner API to work with. Finally, implementations of
the abstract base class are provided for asynchronous HTTP libraries for
immediate usage.
If you think you want a different approach to the GitHub API,
GitHub maintains a list of libraries <https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/overview/libraries>
_.
I couldn't think of a good name that was somehow a play on "GitHub" or somehow
tied into Monty Python <http://www.montypython.com/>
. And so I decided to play
off of GitHub's octocat <https://octodex.github.com/>
mascot and use my own
cat's name, Gidget, in some way. Since "Gidget" somewhat sounds like
"git", I decided to go with "gidgethub".
See the documentation for the full changelog <https://gidgethub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html>
