Can't update from 0.4.0 to 0.4.2

The update of git-blame (0.4.0 to 0.4.2) fails with this error:

Have you read through atom/node-runas#5? Might be related.

[jakubhruby]

Same for me :/

Looks like you're on Windows? All other plugins are working fine?

[jakubhruby]

In my case it's Win 8.1 x64, all other plugins work fine.

[jelmerdemaat]

My case is indeed Windows 7, also x64, other plugins work fine.

Does https://github.com/atom/node-runas/issues/5 mean I have to installl Python myself to be able to update this plugin?

[shawmanz32na]

I can +1 that I am also having this problem, running Windows 8.1 x64. Installing Python and Visual Studio is not an acceptable workaround. It looks like the issue @jelmerdemaat referenced is an atom bug... Should I be re-reporting this issue elsewhere?

[vegar]

I also had this problem, and have seen similar problems caused by python 2.x vs python 3.x issues.

I have both installed, but python 3 is first in the path, which makes node-gyp choke.

So my solution was to run the following commands in an elevated command prompt:

C:\>SET PATH=C:\python27;%PATH%
C:\>apm update git-blame 

which successfully updated package from 0.4.0 to 0.4.3

[jelmerdemaat]

Installing Python locally should not be a requirement for an extension like this and is not an acceptable solution for me, unfortunately...

[vegar]

Since atom is build on top of node and npm, I'm afraid you won't come far without, since many npm packages relay on python being available.

But of cause, it wouldn't hurt if it wasn't so.

I'm hitting this problem on Ubuntu 15.04. However, running npm install -g runas works fine. apm -v outputs the following.

apm  1.4.0
npm  2.13.3
node 0.10.40
python 2.7.9
git 2.1.4
