git-cola will not run on windows

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
