gyp ERR! stack Error: Python executable "/Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/apm/bin/python-interceptor.sh" is v3.7.0, which is not supported by gyp. Please try installing python 2

[bartleyg]

Python 2 is provided by default on Mac systems at /usr/bin/python. I also have it installed separately and linked to /usr/local/bin/python2. Neither were picked up. I would highly recommend removing any Python 2 dependencies in this day and age.

[0mkara]

Thank you for your suggestion. Feel free to create a PR if you find any solution. There has been complain regarding this earlier. I will try removing Python 2 dependency once I find desired solution.
