expfactory fails after installing psiturk

[Joseph M. Orr]

I installed and set-up psiturk (using pip install psiturk, pip installed with conda) and now expfactory won't open. Even after I pip uninstall psiturk I get the below error when calling expfactory. Further, even if I uninstall and reinstall expfactory, the error remains. The only solution I've found is to complete remove and reinstall anaconda python. Is this a anaconda issue or an expfactory/psiturk issue.

psyc308-01:~ congalab$ expfactory

hey @oricon ! This looks like a version error with the github module in Python, which likely was updated / changed when you updated psiturk. Could you verify the version? The one that I have that should work is 2.1.1. Here is how you check:

 ipython
 from git import Repo
 Repo. [TAB][TAB] to see if there is a function clone_from

To check your version:

  import git
  git.__version__

To fix the version:

 pip install gitpython==2.1.1

And it's my fault for not specifying the version in requirements.txt, and also my fault for having you need to think about dependencies, period! u I wasn't super experienced with containers when I designed the client, and a much better approach would have all dependencies tightly packaged to avoid these issues.

Thanks! That helped. I had git 2.11.1 installed originally, so I uninstalled that and installed 2.1.1. I then installed psiturk and it looks like psiturk changed git to 0.1.7. But after installing 2.1.1 both psiturk and expfactory worked.
