Convert Buffer to Desired Array?

I'm using pygithub3 to call an api to receive an organization's repositories, but am getting this result:

<pygithub3.core.result.smart.Result object at 0x7f97e9c03d50>

I believe this is a buffer object. Why is this happening? I want the result to be

['express-file', 'users']

My code looks somewhat like this:

import pygithub3

auth = dict(username="******", password="******") # I hashed these for SO.
gh = pygithub3.Github(**auth)

repos = gh.repos.list_by_org(org="incrosoft", type="all")
print repos

How would I get my desired output? Is it possible? Is there something to turn it into my desired array?

Solution

  • If you look at the docstring of the Result class, you'll see that one can obtain a list by calling your_result.all().

    If you type help(pygithub3.core.result.smart.Result) in your Python interpreter session (with pygithub3 imported), you'll see this docstring printed, so you don't need to check the source each time.
