Installing pxt from github

$ git clone https://github.com/microsoft/pxt.git
$ cd pxt
$ git checkout c2c608fe00d35f9f4654aba4f37a7fc76660dfb7
$ npm -v
8.19.2
$ node -v
v16.18.1
$ npm install
$ npm install -g # places pxt in the path

I chose the npm, node and commit that are shown to be tested and working in https://github.com/microsoft/pxt/actions/runs/3714968823.

Works fine and passes the tests.

When starting a sample project (the square), converting the default block program to python fails:

Hovering says:

I.e. "unknown type 'Buffer' near '???'"

What is it I am doing wrong?

microsoft / pxt-sample

Cannot get the pxt-sample example to work with python #13
