            token=os.environ.get('my_token'),
            url='  ')
        my_gist = gh.gist(gist_ids)

        resp = github3.gists.history.GistHistory( json, session=None)

        print json.dumps(resp)
   if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "push.py", line 51, in <module>

Depending on which version of github3.py you have installed you have two options:

1. If you're using an alpha version of 1.0 you should use the commits() method on your my_gist object. (Documentation: http://github3.readthedocs.io/en/develop/gists.html)

2. if you're using a 0.9 series version you should use the iter_commits() method on the same object. (Documentation: http://github3.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gists.html#github3.gists.gist.Gist.iter_commits)

These will work roughly like this:

# 1.0.0a4
for gist_commit in my_gist.commits():
    # do stuff with previous version
# 0.9.6
for gist_commit in my_gist.iter_commits():
    # ...

Alternatively

# 1.0.0a4
my_gist_history = list(my_gist.commits())
# 0.9.6
my_gist_history = list(my_gist.iter_commits())
