I have installed git-cola using the setup installer for windows. I pointed it to proper installs of git and python.

When I try to launch git-cola, nothing happens whatsoever.

Is there something I am missing here?

I had the same problem, in my case it was missing PyQt4 library. You can install PyQt4 by downloading an appropriate installer from Binary Packages section on PyQt4 Riverbank website.

How I investigated the issue

When I installed git-cola in a default directory and tried to run it using a command line

C:\Program Files (x86)\git-cola\bin>python git-cola.pyw

I got

Sorry, you do not seem to have PyQt4 installed.
Please install it before using git-cola.
e.g.: sudo apt-get install python-qt4

Note

I have two Python 2.7 installations, one at c:\program\Python27 and another at C:\Users\UserName\Anaconda2, I used the first one. I also installed Python SIP some time ago, I'm not sure if it required by git-cola.

  • Mine does not say that when I run from command line. Mine says absolutely nothing when I run from command line. – Scorb Sep 05 '16 at 16:31
  • Looks like you have a different problem than I had. You can try to increasing verbosity by adding `-v` parameter i.e. `python -v git-cola.pyw`. – Tomasz Maczyński Sep 06 '16 at 22:04
  • For anyone else reading this: my problem was that git-cola requires PySide. At the time of this writing, PySide only supports python versions (2, 6), (2, 7), (3, 2), (3, 3), and (3, 4). Reverting from 3.6 to 2.7 did the trick. – sam-6174 Jun 15 '17 at 18:20
