GitPython - Getting Untracked Files

The GitPython tutorial mentions the attribute untracked_files as the way to get the array of untracked files of a particular git repository.

However referring to this attribute results in the following error. 

AttributeError: 'Repo' object has no attribute 'untracked_files'

What is the method in GitPython to get the list of untracked files?

Solution

  • The untracked_files property was added in GitPython v0.2 (see the change log).

    You should check your installed version and upgrade if necessaary.
