Edit by donnemartin:

gitsome does not currently support Python 3.6. See this comment for more details and status.

Even I am facing the same issue with installation on MacOSX Sierra using Python 3.6 as:

$ pip3 install gitsome

@simon04 thanks for the report. I'm not able to reproduce on Python 3.5, I'll switch to 3.6 soon and try it out.

Got same error.

I'm able to duplicate this on 3.6, but not on 3.5. Investigating...

[donnemartin]

From what I can tell, this seems to be an issue with the parser for Python 3.6. This seems to be the relevant ticket: xonsh/xonsh#1717.

We should move towards completing #25 to bring gitsome up to speed with the latest xonsh.

Unless there's a simple patch that I'm missing, gitsome won't support Python 3.6 until #25 is resolved.

Edit: Added note about Python 3.6 incompatibility to README: 31a46f7

[hobbestigrou]

The github integration is awesome. But it's to bad the project doesn't works with python 3.6. I hope that will be fix soon.

[rsrini7]

is there any fix for python 3.6 ?
gitsome currently requires Python 3.4 or 3.5

[SUMUKHA-PK]

Hey @donnemartin can I work on the port? I will need some support though.

[donnemartin]

Hey all, sorry been really busy. I'm starting to free up and plan to look into updating gitsome to support the latest Python versions.

[zwep]

@donnemartin Can you explain in some high level terms what needs to be changed? I am curious about the problem, because I never noticed THAT much of a difference between python 3+ versions

[donnemartin]

Hi all, check out #160, gitsome now supports Python 3.7.
