Gyp searches for "python"
It's scrolled off my screen now and I can't reproduce it, but at one point I got an error about "python" not being available on my Debian Buster based Chromebook. This OS has moved to Python 3 by default, and it follows standard advice to call the interpreter python3.
Either:
-
Gyp isn't compatible with Python 3 yet in 2020, in which case there's a load of hurt ready to drop on their heads. :) Or:
-
Gyp is Python 3 compatible, and it should be preferentially looking for
python3in thePATHoverpython.
This is likely not your project's issue per se, but I expect you have better ways to forward the issue to them than I do, a person who isn't even sure what Gyp is. I can find out, but then you're still dealing with ignorance + epsilon, rather than bare naked ignorance. :)
