sumatra No Version control systems found error (Mac OS X 10.7.2)

[Grace L]

Hi Andrew,

I just found out about sumatra (and I'm very excited to try it for my
own work!). I've got git, gitpython, pygit, sumatra and other
dependencies properly installed (as far as I know). I did:

mkdir test
cd test
smt init test

and I got

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/Sumatra-0.3.0-py2.6.egg/EGG-INFO/scripts/smt:35:
DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of
Python 2.6
print "Error:", err.message
Error: No version control systems found.

Not sure what's going on here? I've only seen one post but it was on
Windows.
I'm using OS X, 10.7.2, python 2.6

thanks!

Grace

Hi Grace,

In a Python shell, can you try:

>>> import git
>>> import sumatra.versioncontrol._git

and let me know what happens.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Grace,

following your command, it seems you don't have created a git repo in
test directory

Cheers,
Michele.

Hi Andrew,

Here are the messages that I get based on what you've requested.
Perhaps there is something wrong with my pygit install?

Hi Andrew,

I think I just figured it out. I installed both pygit and gitpython
packages and Sumatra uses gitpython, but import git imported pygit,
and so sumatra was failing. I removed pygit, and now it seems to be
"working"!

Thanks,

Grace
