gitdb could not be found in PYTHONPATH

[ma...@tobiasknuth.de]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to contribute a library (Pandas) in order to create interactive tutorials about data analysis.

I created a fresh virtual machine (Ubuntu 12 LTS), installed python2.6, installed easy_install and pip.

GitPython did not work, as gitdb was missing. So I installed gitdb. Then GitPython.

Unfortunately,

"import git" yields "Error: gitdb could not be found in your PYTHONPATH"

And ./m dist says: "GitPython not installed", which is probably due to the erroneous git import.

Have you an idea what the problem is?

I'm assuming that Python2.7 is probably the default python on Ubuntu 12 LTS. So, depending on how careful you were, when you installed pip / easy_install it would be very easy for you to have installed gitdb for python 2.7 rather than 2.6. The packages go to completely different folders. Brad

Hi Brad,

thank you for your feedback. I figured out the reason. Some dependencies were not loaded. Gitdb's import failed silently and just printed that it could not be found.

The async package also missed. After I had installed everything properly, it finally worked. Anyone else having this problem can have a look at my scripts that I wrote for installation: https://github.com/tknuth/shell_scripts/tree/master/skulpt.

I'm now ready to work on the library :-)

Best wishes,
Tobias
