How to retrieve data from the Github API in a python script?

I'm fairly new to any sort of web programming and need help with gathering data from the Github search API. How to I go get the array at https://api.github.com/search/users?q=tom+repos:%3E42+followers:%3E1000 from inside a script? or use a GET /search/user?

Would I do something along the lines of Users[Num_users] = GET api.github.con/search/users?

The github API returns a array of objects (JSON I believe?).

Thank you so much!
