Trying to use gitpython on my Mac (Catalina 10.15.5) but no success yet. I hope you guys could help me:

  • Python 2.7 pre-installed on the machine, I have installed Python 3.8
  • When installing GitPython (no clean installation as I have already install/uninstall several times) I get following:

"DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support

  • When I try and run a Python with "import git" I get following:

Error: No module named 'git'

  • When running "python -version" I get following:

Python 3.8.5

Even though I don't know what is causing this I do know that GitPython 2.x is supposed to work with Python 2 and 3, whereas GitPython 3 only works with Python 3.

It's hard to understand what exactly happened here, but when running pip3 install GitPython I am also unable to successfully run import git.

My best guess is that pip installs things outside of the PYTHONPATH, which certainly is surprising, but then again, it's Python… .

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python38.zip', '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8', '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload', '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages']
>

But the package is installed here:

gitoxide git:(main) pip3 uninstall gitpython
Found existing installation: GitPython 3.1.7
Uninstalling GitPython-3.1.7:
  Would remove:
    /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/GitPython-3.1.7.dist-info/*
    /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/git/*
Proceed (y/n)?

I think adding the respective site-packages directory to the PYTHONPATH should do the trick.
Please let me know if this fixes the problem.
