Hi. I am trying to install the zerorpc-node on my system with Windows 10. Python 3.5 and Nodejs 10.16.0.
When i run npm install i get the following error
`npm install git+https://github.com/0rpc/zerorpc-node.git
zeromq@4.6.0 install path\node_modules\zeromq

Is this repo not compatible with Python 3.5?
How is a node module dependent on Python?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I also encountered the same problem.
The package requires python2.x to do final setup, and it looks for python rather than python2, so just make sure your python goes to python2.x
I'm also getting the same issue, tried alias python=python2 to no avail
@bruno-robert i think to work around this by using Python 2 you want to create a symlink (something like ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/local/bin/python?), rather than an alias
That being said, it looks like newer versions of node-gyp have now added Python 3 support:
nodejs/node-gyp#1687 (comment)
Not 100% sure of the chain of events, but it seems like the zmq bindings are looking for a globally-installed version before falling back to their own version of gyp? So maybe try installing the latest node-gyp manually? (npm install -g node-gyp)
It looks like it's using an old version of node-gyp that is bundled with npm.
Installing node-gyp globally only updates the global version, not npm's version.
$ node-gyp -v -> v7.0.0
but npm's node-gyp remains at an older version
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js -v -> v5.1.0
Either updating npm's node-gyp or getting npm to use the global node-gyp would fix this I believe.
I haven't had time to try the symlink trick. I will give it a go at some point.
EDIT:
Tried updating npm's packaged node-gyp with:
npm explore npm -g -- npm install node-gyp@latest (instructions for *nix/windows here)
zerorpc installation is still failing even with node-gyp v7.0.0
@bruno-robert hmmm, what's the error now?
Since I didn't have the logs on me, I just retried installing zerorpc in a fresh folder after restart. It seems to have successfully installed (with multiple warning: 'MakeCallback' is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations] warnings).
