cannot generate projects for MSVC with Python 3 #634

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

There is not possible to generate Visual Studio projects via gyp utility.
Running gyp.bat breakpad_client.gyp results in:

  File "e:\tmp\breakpad\google-breakpad\src\tools\gyp\gyp_main.py", line 12
    except ImportError, e:
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

(Windows 7 32 bit, Python 3.4)

I suspect the answer here will be "Don't use Python 3".

Use Python 2. 2.7.9 is the latest.

Ok, thank you, I'll try this (tomorrow). I didn't see anything about the 
required Python version 2.x on the Wiki, therefore I thought to use the latest 
one...
