ezyang / git-ftp on Windows

I have been trying to install git-ftp from https://github.com/ezyang/git-ftp on my windows. I know most of git-ftp need cygwin or just cant be install on windows but, since its coded in Python and you can install a Python interpreter on windows, i tough i could install it.

I installed Python 3.2, added it to my path. Then i pulled the lastest version of git-ftp and followed the install instructions which are pretty clear :

Requirements: [git-python 3.x] ( http://gitorious.org/git-python )  
it can be installed with `easy_install gitpython`

Usage: `python git-ftp.py`

Then i run 'python git-ftp.py' and i get the following error :

python git-ftp.py install
File "git-ftp.py", line 322
  print complaint
                ^
SynthaxError: invalid synthax

My question is : why dosent it work? is it a python error, git-ftp script error, windows compatibility issues? Note : I didint installed 'easy_install gitpython', do i absolutly need it?

Edit :

I also tried to install python-2.7.2.amd64-pdb and runned the same command and i get an other error :

python git-ftp.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "git-ftp.py", line 48, in <module>
    from git import Tree, Blob, Repo, Git, Submodule
ImportError : No module named git

I Belive it is beacause the script cant find my git or something like that, I then tried to put the correct 'ftpdata' file in a .git folder and runned the script from the root folder of the .git and even tried to run it from the .git folder itself. That didint work either.

I dont know if it matters but i have a Windows 7 - 64 bit (Intel Core2 Duo CPU T9600)

My question is : how to tell the python script where's the git module?

Solution

  • git-ftp is written Python 2, and is not, as it stands, compatible with Python 3. Install an earlier version of the interpreter.

    Edit. You need to install the git-python library. Since the easiest way to install libraries is easy_install, you should set it up with the instructions here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools and then run easy_install git-python.
