Gyp searches for "python" #118

Open tangentsoft opened 4 years ago

tangentsoft commented 4 years ago

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:

  1. 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:

  2. Gyp is Python 3 compatible, and it should be preferentially looking for python3 in the PATH over python.

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. :)
