Installed an experimental copy of python, npm install yields:

I figure it's just dying parsing the version string because of the format of the alpha releases. I'll be re-installing a stable version of Python to counter it but just thought I'd give a heads up. :smile:

Thanks for the report, though there's not much I can do, this is a bug in the node build tools. I'm not even sure the build tools even work with stable Python 3. You could still report this upstream to see if they want to fix it.

No worries, thanks for responding! I downgraded to 3.4.3 and received: gyp ERR! stack Error: Python executable "python" is v3.4.3, which is not supported by gyp. I'll report this upstream as suggested. Thanks!
