During install on a pine64 (allwinner cpu) running bionic (armbian) with mainline kernel 4.19 I get the following. So when it says no module compiler.ast is that a kernel module I might be missing?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/gyp_main.py", line 13, in <module>
    import gyp
  File "/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    import gyp.input

    from compiler.ast import Const

At this time I am not using interrupts so can I just ignore this or will the rest of on/off fail if epoll C code was not built?

After some more digging this looks like a python install problem
I guess node-gyp needs python...ironically,
That armbian distro had python3 already loaded. Any suggestions on how to get the missing python module(s) loaded?
