ImportError: No module named configparser about git-repo-updater HOT 5 CLOSED

@jeffbabuyo

You state "new workstation" then "Ubuntu", so I assume you are using a relatively new version of Ubuntu.

FWIW on most Linux distros (there are some exceptions, such as Arch) python commands (including pip) default to use python2.7 (as you can see in the paths noted in your stacktrace). To use python3 (including pip) you need to state it explicitly.

To install python3 version of pip (if you don't already have it):

sudo apt install python3-pip

Then to use the python3 version of pip to Install git-repo-updater for python3

pip3 install gitup

from git-repo-updater.

Seems like the latest version of GitPython no longer supports Python 2.7. You can try either upgrading to Python 3 (recommended) or installing GitPython < 3.0.0.

@earwig I'm quite reluctant updating python manually it might mess up ubuntu, I tried it before and it ended up very bad

from git-repo-updater.

In that case, you need to downgrade GitPython, because the version you have is too new and is incompatible with the older Python.

@earwig @JedMeister - all good now yeah I have to upgrade my ubuntu18.04 python version pip and its working now...I didn’t use gitpytjon though...closing this issue now
