Command '['git', 'describe', '--tag', '--always']' returned non-zero exit status 128.

It is happening when I try to install the package using either pip or easy_install. There is no difference when I use either python 2.7 or 3.6

Python 2.7 traceback:

The easy_install had a slightly longer stacktrace:

@hjpotter92 thank you very much for testing. I have released version 0.9.4 which should hopefully fix this issue. Please let me know if it works for you.

[hjpotter92]

@chr15m Python 3 does not have execfile. Also; when installing from pip, it does not download the git history. It just fetches the tarball. You can't expect git descibe --tag --always to be executed, as there is no git repository available on client machine.

I changed the setup script so it does not require git or the git history.

I haven't supported Python 3 so far in this library. There is a branch in this repository where some of that is happening slowly but I do not know the status. Maybe I will get time to look at it one day, but in the meantime patches to make the library work in Python 3 are welcome.

Thanks for testing. 👍
