GITHUB_TOKEN= ./create-release username/reponame  

Script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import json
import os
import sys

from urllib.parse import urlencode
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen

repo = sys.argv[1]
tag = sys.argv[2]
upload_file = sys.argv[3]

token = os.environ['GITHUB_TOKEN']

url_template = 'https://{}.github.com/repos/' + repo + '/releases'

# Create.
_json = json.loads(urlopen(Request(
    url_template.format('api'),
    json.dumps({
        'tag_name': tag,

        'prerelease': True,

    },
)).read().decode())
release_id = _json['id']

# Upload.

    content = myfile.read()
_json = json.loads(urlopen(Request(
    url_template.format('uploads') + '/' + str(release_id) + '/assets?' \
      + urlencode({'name': os.path.split(upload_file)[1]}),
    content,
