Breaking Changes

  • Rework Views and Clones (#3168) (f7d52249):

    Code like

    repo.get_views_traffic().["views"].timestamp
repo.get_clones_traffic().["clones"].timestamp

Maintenance

Version 2.4.0 (August 26, 2024)

Breaking Changes

  • The github.Commit.Commit class provides a files property that used to return a list[github.File.File], which has now been changed to PaginatedList[github.File.File]. This breaks user code that assumes a list:

files = repo.get_commit("7266e812ed2976ea36a4303edecfe5d75522343f").files
no_of_files = len(files)

This will raise a TypeError: object of type 'PaginatedList' has no len(), as the returned PaginatedList does not support the len() method. Use the totalCount property instead:

files = repo.get_commit("7266e812ed2976ea36a4303edecfe5d75522343f").files
no_of_files = files.totalCount

Maintenance

Version 2.2.0 (January 28, 2024)

Breaking Changes

  • The github.Comparison.Comparison instance returned by Repository.compare provides a commits property that used to return a list[github.Commit.Commit], which has now been changed to PaginatedList[github.Commit.Commit]. This breaks user code that assumes a list:

commits = repo.compare("v0.6", "v0.7").commits
no_of_commits = len(commits)

This will raise a TypeError: object of type 'PaginatedList' has no len(), as the returned PaginatedList does not support the len() method. Use the totalCount property instead:

commits = repo.compare("v0.6", "v0.7").commits
no_of_commits = commits.totalCount

Version 2.1.0 (September 29, 2023)

Important

Request throttling

This release introduces a default throttling mechanism to mitigate secondary rate limit errors and comply with Github’s best practices: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/guides/best-practices-for-integrators?apiVersion=2022-11-28#dealing-with-secondary-rate-limits

The default throttling of 1 second between writes and 0.25 second between any requests can be configured for github.Github and github.GithubIntegration:

g = github.Github(seconds_between_requests=0.25, seconds_between_writes=1)

Set these parameters to None to disable throttling and restore earlier behavior.

Request retry

This release introduces a default retry mechanism to retry retry-able 403 responses (primary and secondary rate limit errors only) and any 5xx response.

Class github.GithubRetry implements this behavior, and can be configured via the retry argument of github.Github and github.GithubIntegration. Retry behavior is configured similar to urllib3.Retry: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/urllib3.util.html

g = github.Github(retry=github.GithubRetry())

Set this parameter to None to disable retry mechanism and restore earlier behaviour.

Breaking Changes

Timestamps

Any timestamps returned by this library are datetime with timezone information, usually UTC. Before this release, timestamps used to be naive datetime instances without timezone. Comparing (other than ==) these timestamps with naive datetime instances used to work but will now break. Add a timezone information to your datetime instances before comparison:

if g.get_repo("PyGithub/PyGithub").created_at < datetime(2012, 2, 26, tzinfo=timezone.utc):
    ...

Netrc authentication

A Netrc file (e.g. ~/.netrc) does not override PyGithub authentication, anymore. If you require authentication through Netrc, then this is a breaking change. Use a github.Auth.NetrcAuth instance to use Netrc credentials:

>>> auth = Auth.NetrcAuth()
>>> g = Github(auth=auth)
>>> g.get_user().login
'login'

Repository.create_pull

Merged overloaded create_pull methods

def create_pull(self, issue, base, head)
def create_pull(self, title, body, base, head, maintainer_can_modify=NotSet, draft=False)

into

def create_pull(self, base, head, *, title=NotSet, body=NotSet, maintainer_can_modify=NotSet, draft=NotSet, issue=NotSet)

Please update your usage of Repository.create_pull accordingly.

Version 1.59.1 (July 03, 2023)

Bug Fixes

Version 1.59.0 (June 22, 2023)

Important

This release introduces new way of authentication. All authentication-related arguments github.Github(login_or_token=…, password=…, jwt=…, app_auth=…) and github.GithubIntegration(integration_id=…, private_key=…, jwt_expiry=…, jwt_issued_at=…, jwt_algorithm=…) are replaced by a single auth=… argument. Module github.Auth provides classes for all supported ways of authentication: Login, Token, AppAuth, AppAuthToken, AppInstallationAuth, AppUserAuth. Old arguments are deprecated but continue to work. They are scheduled for removal for version 2.0 release.

This project has decided to move all typing information from .pyi files into the respective .py source files. This will happen gradually over time.

Breaking Changes

  • The position argument in github.PullRequest.create_review_comment(position=…) has been renamed to line. This breaks user code that calls create_review_comment with keyword argument position. Call with line=… instead. Calling this method with positional arguments is not breaking.

  • The jwt_expiry, jwt_issued_at and jwt_algorithm arguments in github.GithubIntegration() have changed their position. User code calling github.GithubIntegration(…) with these arguments as positional arguments breaks. Please use keyword arguments: github.GithubIntegration(…, jwt_expiry=…, jwt_issued_at=…, jwt_algorithm=…).

  • The since argument in github.PullRequest.get_review_comments(…) has changed position.`` User code calling github.PullRequest.get_review_comments(…) with this argument as positional argument breaks. Please use keyword argument: github.PullRequest.get_review_comments(since=…).

Deprecation

  • The use of github.Github(login_or_token=…) is deprecated, use github.Github(auth=github.Auth.Login(…)) or github.Github(auth=github.Auth.Token(…)) instead.

  • The use of github.Github(password=…) is deprecated, use github.Github(auth=github.Auth.Login(…)) instead.

  • The use of github.Github(jwt=…) is deprecated, use github.Github(auth=github.AppAuth(…)) or github.Github(auth=github.AppAuthToken(…)) instead.

  • The use of github.Github(app_auth=…) is deprecated, use github.Github(auth=github.Auth.AppInstallationAuth(…)) instead.

  • The use of github.GithubIntegration(integration_id=…, private_key=…, jwt_expiry=…, jwt_issued_at=…, jwt_algorithm=…) is deprecated, use github.GithubIntegration(auth=github.Auth.AppAuth(…)) instead.

  • The use of github.GithubIntegration.create_jwt is deprecated, use github.Github(auth=github.Auth.AppAuth), github.Auth.AppAuth.token or github.Auth.AppAuth.create_jwt(expiration) instead.

  • The use of AppAuthentication is deprecated, use github.Auth.AppInstallationAuth instead.

  • The use of github.Github.get_app() without providing argument slug is deprecated, use github.GithubIntegration(auth=github.Auth.AppAuth(…)).get_app().
