python error on npm package install Windows

On Windows, When I try to install wdio, I have a python error : but python is installed and in the path. the PYTHON variable is set to "C:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe", which is a correct path. I don't know where the error is coming from, since it says it can find the executable, bit show the right path to the executable.

PS C:\Users\admin> npm install wdio

> [email protected] install C:\Users\admin\node_modules\fibers
> node build.js || nodejs build.js


C:\Users\admin\node_modules\fibers>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild --release )  else (node "" rebuild --release )

I had to reinstall node when I had similar issue ( this just updated to the current stable) Although before that I had updated every other thing while trying a solution including python for windows and node-gyp (npm install -g node-gyp). The node js update finally did it

You need to install Python 2.7 since node-gyp is not compatible with Python 3.x. See e.g. https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
