Error cloning repository

[ciror00]

Hi!

I am following the SDK installation steps. When i do step clone workspace, it shows me the following error:

$ repo init -u https://github.com/Parrot-Developers/groundsdk-manifest.git
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ciro/code/parrot-groundsdk/.repo/repo/main.py", line 56, in <module>

  File "/home/ciro/code/parrot-groundsdk/.repo/repo/hooks.py", line 472
    file=sys.stderr)
        ^

Can anybody help me?

Hi @ciror00,

I face the same problems. I have a running Olympe system on my laptop which was installed about 6 months ago. Now I want to install a second one on another laptop. However, exactly when running the repo init ... command I get this error.

After some research it sounds to me like the SyntaxError is caused when you call print('...', file=sys.stderr) from Python 2. So apparently repo is running the main.py with Python 2.x, even though the shebang says Python3. Even if this is a correct analysis, I was not able to find a solution yet.

Maybe someone from Parrot knows better what has changed in the most recent commits?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
by accident I figured out that
repo init -u https://github.com/Parrot-Developers/groundsdk-manifest.git
can be replaced by
./.repo/repo/repo init -u https://github.com/Parrot-Developers/groundsdk-manifest.git
Or maybe one needs to run repo init first in order to get the hidden folder .repo into the folder ~/code/parrot-groundsdk.
Subsequently, replace
repo sync
by
./.repo/repo/repo sync.

For me at least it finished without an error and I was able to continue and complete the Olympe installation.
