ImportError: no module named git after reformatting laptop

My laptop was formatted and a new OS was installed, and since then I get this error: ImportError: there is no module named git

This refers to python code that just imports git.

Git location before formatting my laptop: / usr / local / bin / git Git location after formatting my laptop: / usr / bin / git

How / what can I change in my Python code to reference the correct path?

The git module is not the same as the git command line executable. They have the same name and related tasks, but they are different software packages.

I am going to assume that the git module that imports your code is the one provided by the GitPython project . You will need to install this project, see the instructions:

 # pip install gitpython
