Can you run the following in Git Bash:

node -e "const child_process = require('child_process');console.log(child_process.spawnSync('python', ['--version']).stdout.toString())"

(and if that returns nothing, try replacing stdout with stderr)

[kaiyoma]

stdout doesn't show anything, but stderr does:

$ node -e "const child_process = require('child_process');console.log(child_process.spawnSync('python', ['--version']).stderr.toString())"
Python 2.7.15

Cool, that's also what happened to me. I'll think about how to debug this further...

[rsese]

I had tentatively closed #822 as a duplicate of #725 a while ago but maybe looking at it again, maybe it's better to have this separate issue for Git Bash here @50Wliu? The original report in #725 was about Cygwin and the error looks different....

[50Wliu]

The two are probably related...might be best to keep this one open, though.
