python-github-webhook is a very simple, but powerful, microframework for writing GitHub
webhooks in Python. It can be used to write webhooks for individual repositories or whole
organisations, and can be used for GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise installations; in fact, it was
orginally developed for Bloomberg's GHE install.
python-github-webhook is designed to be as simple as possible, to make a simple Webhook that
receives push events all it takes is:
from github_webhook import Webhook
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__) # Standard Flask app
webhook = Webhook(app) # Defines '/postreceive' endpoint
@app.route("/") # Standard Flask endpoint
def hello_world():
return "Hello, World!"
@webhook.hook() # Defines a handler for the 'push' event
def on_push(data):
print("Got push with: {0}".format(data))
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=80)The python-github-webhook repository is distributed under the Apache License (version 2.0);
