Crappy API invocation to turn a ticket into a pull request (in python)

gistfile1.py

import requests
import json

issue = 104
branch = "BRANCH_TO_MERGE"
username = "USERNAME"
repo = "REPO"

url = "https://api.github.com/repos/%(username)s/%(repo)s/pulls" % locals()

headers = {"Authorization": "token SOMETOKEN"}

requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps({
    "issue": str(issue),
    "head": "%s:%s" % (username, branch),
    "base": "master",
}))
