Python 2 Required

[MortalCatalyst]

Why is Python 2 a requirement to install gulp and sass?

On windows 10 Python 2 fails as a requirement, is there a way to avoid needing to build with a now obsolete language version?

Closed because not your issue. Not resolved but clearly an issue with gyp, node-sass and windows.

for reference gyp
fsevents fsevents unsupported arch
and haven't figured out how to solve the node-sass issue yet.
