Unable to get git commit hash : Forums : PythonAnywhere

I've attempted to get the current git commit hash to use as a version number for sentry & django. So this happens in the django settings;

repo = git.Repo(search_parent_directories=True)
RELEASE_NUMBER = repo.head.object.hexsha
VERSION = RELEASE_NUMBER

As I understand it, the site for this simply pulls the latest changes from the repo & reloads, therefore I thought this would be an appropriate way of getting this value.

The above code causes an error however;

I don't have access to the account where this is being executed, it's a github PR I've submitted & had this stacktrace back on.
