Hello, the ImportError: No module named compiler.ast error suggests something is wrong with the (conflicting?) Python installation(s) on this machine. Perhaps see #684 as it was a similar problem.

I hit this, and fixes in the linked issue didn't work -- the install process was correctly using my python2 interpreter.

In my case the issue was that the ubuntu:16.04 docker container that I was installing in didn't contain the python dev headers, which appear to be required to get compiler / parser modules.

apt-get install python-dev fixed the problem for me.

I'm also having this issue on...

• mac osx high sierra
• node v9

I tried different sharp versions 0.19.0 and 0.18.4

This problem relates to local Python installations. Please subscribe #186 for updates about a possible Python-less future.
