Installation fails due to missing PYTHON executable #29

I am unable to install the generator. Install fails with the following error message:

C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\generator-redux\node_modules\buffertools>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin....\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild ) else (node rebuild ) gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable. gyp ERR! stack at failNoPython (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js:116:14) gyp ERR! stack at C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\lib\configure.js:71:11 gyp ERR! stack at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:82:15) gyp ERR!

As far as I understand PYTHON is not a usual requirement for javascript projects. Also it was not mentioned amongst the project dependencies.

Some more details from the debug log:

Hmmm, I don't have a windows box to test this on right now. Are you still having this problem @vizmi? If so, can you see if this solution works for you?: http://stackoverflow.com/a/33047257/30362

Works fine for me.

@vizmi many node dependencies are composed of native modules which are built for the system using node-gyp. Python 2.7 is one of the requirements of this tool. Please see the README documentation at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp which contains information for how to prepare your environment to support native module building.

Thanks for the info, I will look into it. I am closing the ticket as the issue is not with the generator but the underlying framework.
