Answer 1

gitlab's using own python2.7 binary in /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/ path. i renamed /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/python2.7 binary and create symbolic link with /usr/bin/python2.7

After that you must change owner of the python file with git user.

Above solution cause same problem if gitlab use own python binary. Because of that you can run script like this in post-receive hook

/usr/bin/python2.7 some_script.py
