Today I released GistAPI.py v0.1.2. It features a highly-optimized Gist object model and API wrapper which allows you to consume Gists in your next Python application.

GitHub just rolled out a miniature pre-release of the Gist API last month, so API functionality is pretty limited at the moment. More features will be added as soon as the API is updated.

from gistapi import *
 
gist = Gist('d4507e882a07ac6f9f92')
 
gist.description          # 'Example Gist for gist.py'
gist.created_at           # '2010/05/16 10:51:15 -0700'
gist.public               # False
gist.filenames            # ['exampleEmptyFile', 'exampleFile']
gist.files['exampleFile'] # 'Example file content.'
