As the error looks suspiciously like a Py2/3 confusion error, I also tried PYTHON=python2.7 npm install git-utils, but to no avail (same trackback).

Hi @michaelaye ,

I'm experiencing the same issue. Have you managed to solve it? How?

[michaelaye]

nope, really strange, no replys, nobody interesting in solving it either... I traced this down from my failure to install the hydrogen plugin update really.

Hi @michaelaye and @jllopezpino ,

I'm experiencing the same issue. Have you solved it and if so, how?

[damieng]

What do you get if you type python --version ?

Basically node-gyp requires python2.7 and python3 is not supported - and possibly not very well detected.

You should be able to force a specific binary of python for node-gyp to use, e.g.;

npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7

Although I'd recommend just changing the symlink /usr/local/bin/python to point to your 2.x install if you want to avoid a whole bunch of python 3 incompatibility problems.

[michaelaye]

thanks for your reply, but i just gave up on node and git-utils.

[clarsen]

still an issue after all these years :)

PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH npm i nodegit works assuming /usr/local/bin/python is python v2...

[dpinol]

In one of my computers I had this problem even with python2.
I solved it upgrading my npm dependencies:

• cd ~/.nvm/versions/node/v9.11.2/lib/node_modules/npm/
• Edit package.json to set node-gyp dependency version to 6.0.1
• npm i
• Repeat the same for ~/.nvm/versions/node/v9.11.2/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle
