Hi all. I'm installing git latest (1.8.1.12) on a Solaris 10 system
that previously didn't have python.

The GIT documentation requires Asciidoc to build, and Asciidoc
requires Python. I installed Python 3.1.2 from sunfreeware.com,
and softlinked python3 to python.

Running 'asciidoc' then gives the error:
------------------
  File "/usr/local/bin/asciidoc", line 101
    except KeyError, k: raise AttributeError, k
                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
------------------

I uninstalled Python3 and added Python2  (the sunfreeware.com Python
packages are both called SMCpython so I can't install both at once),
and
it seems to work.  However, I now couldn't use Python 3 if some other
program needed it - unless I build python from source.

I would suggest a nicer error message if it detects that only
Python 3 is installed, with explanation that Python 2 is required.
