Python version is 3.7.3. Trying to install pg-native 3.0.0

node-gyp requires Python 2. I think newer versions correctly run /usr/bin/python2, so you can either link python2 over /usr/bin/python temporarily or upgrade Node. (It might even work on the latest 8.x minor, which 8.12.0 isn’t.)

Either way, this applies to all native addons, not just pg-native.
