Trying to build the IPS repo cloned from Github results in exception in pydates:

$ python3.7 ./src/setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/vkotal/solaris-ips/src/pydates", line 36, in <module>
    repo = localrepo.instance(myui, cmdutil.findrepo(os.getcwd()), False)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mercurial/localrepo.py", line 2810, in instance
    localpath = util.urllocalpath(path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mercurial/util.py", line 2947, in urllocalpath
    return url(path, parsequery=False, parsefragment=False).localpath()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mercurial/util.py", line 2726, in __init__
    if hasdriveletter(path) or path.startswith('\\\\'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

This is because it constructs a Mercurial repository object from cmdutil.findrepo(os.getcwd()). Of course, the repo cloned from Github is Git repo and not a Mercurial repo as the findrepo() expects, therefore it returns None.

possible workaround:

Some forks of this project use a pydate.git python script like this one:
