Fetches PyGithub library into Pythonista (library patched to overcome strptime errors - _strptime missing from Pythonista version 1.1 and TypeError from strptime on second use - see http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=112916)

This version of PyGithub depends on dateutil which can be imported into Pythonista using this script.

Updated to work with latest version of PyGithub.

Hi, how do you suggest we edit non-Python files once the repo has been cloned? I'd like to use this to update my Jekyll site whilst away from my computer. It's a great script and potentially the best way to push/pull GitHub repos on the iPhone.

Currently I'm able to use shellista to rename .md files to .py, edit them, and rename them again, but I have no way of committing the changes. Could you let me know how I might go about that?

Cheers,

Robert
