Not Compatible with pip install

[d-v-t]

I installed with pip install git+https://github.com/johnson-c/ColRadPy.git#egg=colradpy. The following code seems to cause problems as I don't have git installed:

#get the path of the hash so people can track versions, done this way incase the user
#didn't pull with git but just zip tssssk tsssk tsssssk
base_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file))
base_path = base_path[0:len(base_path) - 9]
git_dir = pathlib.Path(base_path) / '.git'
with (git_dir / 'HEAD').open('r') as head:
ref = head.readline().split(' ')[-1].strip()
with (git_dir / ref).open('r') as git_hash:
self.data['user']['git_hash'] = git_hash.readline().strip()

Because colradpy is not explicitly dependent on git otherwise, this seems like bad practice?

It should work by just downloading the zip from github. You're correct the pip probably broken, this is a fairly low priority for me. If you have fix I would be happy to merge a pull request.

Makes sense. My fix is to comment this code out for now. I'll leave the issue open but will probably not create a pull request anytime soon as it's a similarly low priority for me.
