Using Python 3.2.x on Windows to clone Git repository

Question

I installed the latest version of Python (3.2.x) in order to run the Nuxeo-provided clone.py to clone the Nuxeo 5.5 source (as described here). When I run the "python clone.py" command I get the following error (which maybe related to EOL representations differences between Unix and Windows text files):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "clone.py", line 144, in 
assert_git_config()
File "clone.py", line 137, in assert_git_config
if "always" in t:
TypeError: Type str doesn't support the buffer API

Is it right to assume that Python 3.2.x is not supported with the existing clone.py?

If anyone is looking for a workaround, I did get the clone to work by downloading and installing the latest version of Python 2.7.x.
