6 years ago node-gyp, the build tool for node.js add-ons, needs python 2, not python 3. You can pass the path to python 2 with npm install --python <path> buffertools or set it in your .npmrc.
Let me know if you still have questions.

I was installing caress-server https://github.com/ekryski/caress-server This need buffertools. When I npm install buffertools. It showed configure error and syntax error.
import sys; print "%s.%s.%s" % sys.version_info[:3]; Does this line have problem? I cant find the file named 「string」.
