Python wrapper for GitHub API v3

Pygithub3

Pygithub3 is a wrapper to the Github API v3, written in Python.

It has been developed with extensibility in mind, because the API is in a beta state, trying to achieve a very loosly coupled software.

It should be very easy to extend to support new requests and resources, because each of them are managed by itself.
