Getting source for 5.5 (python troubles)

jana01_

Hi!

I am trying to get source for 5.5. I have Python 2.7 under Windows 7 and git version 1.7.9

When trying to execute the clone.py script I am getting:

D:\nuxeo_src_>"C:\Python27\python" clone.py release-5.5
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "clone.py", line 71, in <module>
    main()
  File "clone.py", line 53, in main
    repo = Repository(os.getcwd(), options.remote_alias)
  File "D:\nuxeo_src_\scripts\nxutils.py", line 45, in __init__
    assert_git_config()
  File "D:\nuxeo_src_\scripts\nxutils.py", line 345, in assert_git_config
    t = check_output(["git", "config", "--get", "color.branch"])
  File "D:\nuxeo_src_\scripts\nxutils.py", line 335, in check_output
    p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 672, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 882, in _execute_child
    startupinfo)
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified

I think the problem comes from the scripts not being able to find the git executable at this line:

t = check_output(["git", "config", "--get", "color.branch"])

Still, if I run:

git config --get color.branch

I am getting a result ("auto") fine.

I am completely ignorant when it comes to python scripts and I am out of ideas how to approach this.

Thanks for any help.
