This project is no longer limited to just the Github REST API, so a more encompassing name is appropriate. Please submit suggestions below and vote below.

agithub/The Agnostic GitHub API (in other words, don't change it)

wrapi/Lightweight API wrapper

Alright, not a lot of participation (just the three of us). Looks like @kwill and I liked arestclient/Agnostic REST client which is enough to make it the top voted ๐Ÿคฃ

I'll close this out with an intent to rename to arestclient/Agnostic REST client. I'm assuming you're both ok with getting to this over the next month or so (want to make a graceful dependency transition from the old pypi package name to the new, and probably a lot of renaming of things inside the code that reference agithub).

I'm also fine with, in the intervening time, some groundswell of interest in a different name considering the very very small sample size of the three of us.

I've squated arestclient on pypi for good measure.

๐Ÿ‘Œ with me! I'd love to get together to chat for a few minutes about the direction of this project -- what we want to do with open issues and PRs, style guides, potentially setting up CI. Is there a preferred medium?

If it would be helpful, I can attempt to rename things appropriately and submit a pull request.
