GitPython tries very hard to find a suitable git executable on the system it is executed on, and I could imagine that this for some reason fails.
Before starting your program, or before importing GitPython, you can set the GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE to the executable to use, like in GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/git python myscript.py. That will force GitPython to use the specified executable, which usually works.

Hope that helps.

Along with GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE, I needed to export also GIT_SSH_COMMAND. These worked for me. :-

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/git
export GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/git
export GIT_SSH_COMMAND="/usr/bin/ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa"
