gyp requires newer python version

[mscdex]

I'm not sure what version exactly that gyp requires now, but at least on OSX 10.6 with Python 2.6.1, I get a syntax error that points to the beginning of my binding.gyp file. I installed Python 2.7.3 to a separate directory and used it with node-gyp instead, which worked just fine.

I also tested on 2.7.2 and 2.7.3 on Linux and Windows without issues. So maybe it requires Python >= 2.7 now or ?

Can you show me the full error output? I think I've seen what you are talking about, and it possible gets fixed by doing a node-gyp clean call.

Though I believe gyp works back to Python 2.5; I've run it successfully on my iPhone which has an older version of Python.

@TooTallNate I was using rebuild which should be calling clean. Unfortunately I cannot seem to reproduce the problem after I installed python 2.7.3 last night. I even attempted to set PYTHON, PYTHONPATH, and PYTHONHOME to where I think they were/should be pointing, but no such luck. :-\
