Confirmed via virtualenv :-D I guess only @Byron has proper credentials to update pypi :/

Not having a new version of gitpython prevents legit from being installed (via pip).

@Byron do you have the credentials to update pip?

[Byron]

After some attempts, I managed to login. Lucky me.
Something holding me back might be that I always strongly disliked interacting with the pypi web frontend, and I'd be happy to delegate this task.
If someone provides me with a username, I will be glad to add you as maintainer.

[hrj]

@Byron I am not familiar with the python universe, so I can't volunteer as maintainer, but can you upload a new version just this time? Once the chain of dependencies starts functioning, I am hopeful that the project will get more attention and hence more volunteers will sign up.

[Byron]

A new release has been created on pypi. This should resolve this issue.

[hrj]

w00t!

Thank you very much!

I have filled a bug for Debian to update their python-git package https://bugs.debian.org/769595

[Byron]

I don't know how fast they are, but I expect plenty of new releases to come out in the next time.
If you ask me, they should wait for 0.3.3 as it will be of higher quality.

[hashar]

I haven't looked at the Debian source package, but it is usually not too much work unless you break the API or add new dependencies (which in turn need to be packaged). I might give it a shot myself.

[Byron]

Good, so it should be easy, as in fact the async dependency was removed from gitdb. It might be a good starting point to repackage gitdb and smmap, as these are stable now and py3 compatible. Also they don't change their API.
