Problem

This appears to be a regression introduced by flutter/engine#34374. /cc @mtolmacs

The pre-commit git hook does not find depot_tool's python3.bat file, causing git push to fail on Windows unless python3 is installed elsewhere. You may not run into this issue if you've installed the "real" python3 SDK on your machine.

Error:

> git push -u origin HEAD
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.
error: failed to push some refs to 'github.com:loic-sharma/flutter-engine.git'

Solutions

In the short-term, we will revert the PR that caused this regression. In the long-term, potential solutions include:

1. Create a separate pre-push git hook entry point for Windows, or...
2. Rewrite the pre-push git hook entry point to use pure bash instead of python3, or...
3. Add a step to Flutter engine's setup guide to add /path/to/depot_tools/python-bin to your path

I'm leaning towards option 1 as that's the prior art.
