Hi want to test the deno project can someone explain to me how to run this on windows 10 x64 without errors.

I get this error when i try to run \deno\tools with python 3.6 and 2.7

PS C:\Users\giorg\Documents\Development\Clones\deno\tools> python .\setup.py
  File ".\setup.py", line 20
    print "Bad mode {}. Use 'release' or 'debug' (default)" % build_mode()
                                                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
PS C:\Users\giorg\Documents\Development\Clones\deno\tools>

At the moment these scripts only support python 2. Also see #118 (comment).

Note: a python 3 SyntaxError is a good way to show that only python 2 is supported. It's unclear if the deps (specifically v8) also need python 2 anyway i.e. no benefit of deno supporting python 3 yet.

@haydi have tried and with 2.7 but I get the same error

It looks like you are using Python 3.

Our python scripts sometimes run other python scripts. If python3 is still in your PATH, even if you start the top level script with python2, the child script will be executed with Python3.

Try this:

set PATH=c:\Python27;%PATH%
python tools\setup.py
