Error installing GitPython==2.1.14 #61
Description
Activity
Ran into the same thing. This appears to be a python 2.7 problem. Something about the recent update makes
pipget confused trying to find a version ofgitdb/gitdb2that fulfills the requirements.My current workaround is to pin
gitdb2to2.0.6(last version I could find that supports 2.7):docker run -it ubuntu apt update && apt install python-pip -y pip install gitdb2==2.0.6 pip install GitPython==2.1.14Reacted by vikram singh, Nicusor Picatureanu, Gabriel Smadi, Juan Pablo Quiroga, Mirhossein Mousavi, ur4t, Mike May, 王梦洋, kusuwada and Christoph JungReacted by Juan Pablo Quiroga and tusharpatil3688I also tried the same workaround.
gitdb2 was changed to mirror gitdb, so that we could transition back to using the gitdb package name (#59). Since it's a mirror package, I didn't include a lot of the metadata, including that it requires Python >= 3.4, and I'd rather not have to add it specifically for Python 2 support (#60 (comment), #60 (comment)).
However, the latest version of GitPython that supports Python 2, v2.1.15, should still work without any issues, as that version locks gitdb2 to < 3 (gitpython-developers/GitPython@bcf9f1c). This was done and released as v2.1.15 when GitDB dropped Python 2 support (gitpython-developers/GitPython#897 (comment)) in v3.0.0.
Unfortunately, older versions of GitPython v2 did not have an upper bound for the gitdb2 requirement version specifier (gitpython-developers/GitPython#897 (comment)). If for some reason, you need to use an older version of GitPython, you can specify a version requirement of < 3 for gitdb2 yourself. I would recommend updating to GitPython v2.1.15 instead though.
I'm still considering #60, so let me know if you have a situation where you cannot upgrade GitPython to v2.1.15 or pin gitdb2 to < 3 yourself. See also #60 (comment).
GitPython released 3.1.0 to fix this problem: gitpython-developers/GitPython@c859019
I still think GitDB should have the correct dependencies to prevent this problem. Now every upstream package has to fix this.
I can't install
GitPython==2.1.14anymore, and I think it has to do with the release ofgitdbthat has been done yesterday. Is there something wrong in the dependencies?This is how you can replicate this error in a docker container:
docker run -it ubuntu apt update && apt install python-pip -y pip install -U GitPython==2.1.14Output:
