Examples using Issues

Administering Issues

Let’s assume you have your username and password stored in user and pwrespectively, you have your repository name stored in repo, and the number of the issue you’re concerned with in num.

from github3 import login

gh = login(user, pw) issue = gh.issue(user, repo, num) if issue.is_closed(): issue.reopen()

issue.edit('New issue title', issue.body + '\n------\nUpdate: Text to append')

Closing and Commenting on Issues

Assuming issue is the same as above ...

issue.create_comment('This should be fixed in 6d4oe5. Closing as fixed.') issue.close()

Importing an issue

Not only can you create new issues, but you can import existing ones. When importing, you preserve the timestamp creation date; you can preserve the timestamp(s) for comment(s) too.

import github3 gh = github3.login(token=token) issue = { 'title': 'Documentation issue', 'body': 'Missing links in index.html', 'created_at': '2011-03-11T17:00:40Z' }

repository = gh.repository(user, repo) repository.import_issue(**issue)

Status of imported issue

Here’s how to check the status of the imported issue.

import github3 issue = repository.imported_issue(issue_num) print(issue.status)
