An implementation of Github-Flavored Markdown written as an extension to the Python Markdown library.
Readme
PLEASE READ BEFORE USING: This repository will not receive bug fixes, and might become read-only soon.
Rationale: this library has well-known consistency issues_ with GitHub-Flavored Markdown rendering. Fixing
them would require time investment the maintainer cannot provide. The maintainer is also fatigued by
Markdown's library constantly breaking their internal API with each minor release.
Consider instead using |pycmarkgfm|_ (PyPi_), a lightweight Python 3.5+ wrapper for GitHub's own implementation of GFM from the same author, which is faster, virtually byte-compatible with GitHub rendering, and provides a nice API for managing task lists aka. TODO lists.

This is an implementation of GitHub-Flavored Markdown_ written as an
extension to the Python Markdown_ library. It aims for, but does not
achieve, maximal compatibility with GitHub's rendering.
Tested Python versions are 3.5 to 3.8. Sorry, no Python 2.7 support starting with py-gfm 1.x since the Python Markdown library itself is Python 3 only.

therefore cannot reproduce GitHub's own implementation_ with 100% accuracy.
