[whatwewant]

node-gyp@^4.0.0 won't be compatible with python3, but node-gyp already support python3.

and after testing, it was found that as long as the upgrade node-gyp@9.0.0 is ok

How to reproduce ?

• OS: ubuntu 20.04
• Python version: 3 (No python2)
• Cmd: cnpm i -g raw-socket

[whatwewant]

More:

$ cnpm i -g raw-socket
> gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

$ PYTHON=$(which python3) cnpm i raw-socket
> gyp ERR! stack Error: Python executable "/usr/bin/python3" is v3.8.10, which is not supported by gyp.
gyp ERR! stack You can pass the --python switch to point to Python >= v2.5.0 & < 3.0.0.
