[wip] Improve Python 2 detection

Open smashwilson opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Rather than strictly relying on Python 2 being available on your ${PATH} with a binary name of python, use @atom/dowsing-rod to locate the best Python binary and trick node-gyp into using it.

See atom/atom#16885 for more information.

Seems like node-gyp accepts Python3 now. It says so on their README. And judging by the commit history it seems they started working on it somewhere around July of this year. Not sure what's the status of this branch, but seeing as it's open I figured it was a good idea to give a heads up.

This is maybe obsolete now that #887 is merged.

Though the apm --version does need some help finding python2 and python3, could be better at finding Python on Windows.
