Export Issues from Github repo to CSV (API v3)

export_repo_issues_to_csv.py

"""
This is strongly based on https://gist.github.com/unbracketed/3380407;
thanks to @unbracketed and the various commenters on the page.

I've mainly cleaned up the code into basic methods, and included the
various suggestions in the comments. Hope this is useful to someone.

Make sure you have `requests` and `csv` installed via pip then run it:
`python export_gh_issues_to_csv.py`

---

Exports Issues from a specified repository to a CSV file
Uses basic authentication (Github username + password) or token to retrieve Issues
from a repository that username has access to. Supports Github API v3.

Modifications done over marcelkornblum/export_repo_issues_to_csv.py:
1. Importing all issues instead of just open
2. Added 2 fields: Issue creator and State
3. Removed field: Issue body
