Dependency on Python #51

Closed thasmo closed 8 years ago

thasmo commented 10 years ago

We noticed that the newer versions have a dependency on node-gyp and Python. Out of curiosity, what is node-gyp used for?

I use svg-sprite-data & that has a dependency on libxmljs - this is where that dependency comes from.

I would rather not use that lib if possible, I'm open to any contributions that can remove it :)

Some earlier versions didn't depend on it, or am I wrong? I guess Linux/Mac is not a problem because Python comes pre-installed, but on Windows it's just another dependency to install. Not a big problem, just a little bit annoying but I understand that it's probably a needed dependency.

libxml is removed / replaced in the current version.

Nice to see progress being made here! :)
