回购init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest错误

Question

I tried downloading the android source code as followed in the steps of https://source.android.com/source/downloading

but in the step:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest 

I get the following error.

warning: Python 3 support is currently experimental. YMMV. Please use Python 2.6 - 2.7 instead. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/marios/bin/repo", line 883, in main(sys.argv[1:])

File "/home/marios/bin/repo", line 851, in main _Init(args, gitc_init=(cmd == 'gitc-init')) File "/home/marios/bin/repo", line 337, in _Init _CheckGitVersion() File "/home/marios/bin/repo", line 391, in _CheckGitVersion ver_act = ParseGitVersion(ver_str) File "/home/marios/bin/repo", line 361, in ParseGitVersion if not ver_str.startswith('git version '): TypeError: startswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not str

Why?

Answer 1

You are using Python 3. You must use Python version 2.6-2.7. Please visit python.org to learn how to install the correction version of Python on your system.
