github3.py

Testing
If you want to run the unittests with authentication, simply run:
make alltests
From the root of the repository. If you would rather see what will take place on Travis, run:
make travis # or make tests
To test how much of the library is covered:
make coverage_auth # equivalently make coverage_all # or without authentication make coverage
Depending on which you run, you will see different percentages reported by coverage. As of this writing (2012-09-06), coverage_auth reports 85% covered.
