Simple script to count the number of issues closed by each person in a git repo

gistfile1.py

import urllib
import json
import operator

# Only going to grab 300 issues. May need to change this line
filehandle = urllib.urlopen('https://api.github.com/repos/vz-risk/VCDB/issues?state=closed&per_page=300')

usercount = {}

issues = json.loads(filehandle.read())
for eachissue in issues:
  username = 'none'
  try:
    username = eachissue['assignee']['login']
  except:
    pass
  usercount[username] = usercount.get(username,0) + 1

for eachitem in sorted(usercount.iteritems(),key=operator.itemgetter(1),reverse=True):
  print eachitem[0].rjust(11) + ' ' + str(eachitem[1])
