Thanks for this !

I had to update adding

        if repo.description:
            description = repo.description[:255]
        else:
            description = "not really known"

in front of m = { and then use description instead of repo.description. Otherwise for me it fails for descriptions over 255 characters.

Thanks for this !

Good catch, but since [:255] is a no-op when the length is <=255 anyway, you can just do it much more cleanly with:

"description"       : (repo.description or "not really known")[:255],

Thanks !

Many thanks!
