Github has a new API. This is the best Python wrapper for it.

This a work in progress. Should be relased soon.

import github3

gh = github3.basic_auth('username', 'password')

gh.get_repo('kennethreitz', 'python-github3')

To install Github3, simply:

$ pip install github3

Or, if you absolutely must:

$ easy_install github3

But, you really shouldn't do that.
