Hi -

I am having a problem with apache using mod_wsgi and python 3.6 on RedHat 7.2 using the gitpython package .... specifically the push ...

I get no errors ... the server that I am pushing to ... receives no push ... the result from the push is:
2018-06-08 13:03:17,584 - ProcessGit - INFO - push:[]
Documentaion states:

If the operation fails completely, the length of the returned IterableList will
be null."""

The same code on the same machine running through Flask runserver ... Works
2018-06-08 11:48:01,593 - ProcessGit - INFO - push:[<git.remote.PushInfo object at 0x7f1c3cf34518>]

The call that I am using is:
.....

  repo_origin = repo_ref.remotes.origin
  repo_origin.push()

Thanks for letting us know, and sorry to hear you are running into this!

This seems related to another issue (which I can't find it seems) which has similar problems. Currently the push implementation actively ignores errors in some cases.
This can and should be fixed, but help is required.

I ended up changing the git push to use pygit2 to do the push ... and it works ... there is something wrong with the way gitpython does a push under mod_wsgi
