Using negative qualifiers with PyGithub

Question

I am trying to use PyGithub to access GitHub REST API to search repos. Since, API has strict rate limits, I want to filter out as many repos possible during the search.

Before, writing the script in Python, I tried GitHub's web search to get an understanding of the qualifiers.

tensorflow language:Python archived:False -topic:tutorial

The above query finds repos written in Python that has the word "tensorflow" that are not archived and do not contain the topic (it's like a tag for GH repos) tutorial. So GH allows the negative qualifiers by adding a - before the qualifier.

I can't use that when using PyGithub.

gh.search_repositories("tensorflow",
                       language = 'Python',
                       archived = False,
                       -topic = "tutorial",
    )

The last parameter -topic = "tutorial" does not work as identifiers cannot start with - symbol.

Does anyone have any idea how to archive this?
