Error installing less: Python not found!

It says nowhere I need python to run this thing on Windows 7 64-bit. Isn't this dependency supposed to be installed automatically?

We don't officially support Windows yet.

This is because less.rb depends on therubyracer which does not currently install on Windows. There is work currently going on to remedy this, but until that gets integrated into the main release, you'll have to build therubyracer manually.

I run into the same issue. Any chance to get this running with execjs instead of therubyracer?
