Make sure you add python.exe to your path environment variable; Restarting your running shell may be necessary.\r\n\r\nI'm not sure why 3.4 is excluded, but 3.x in general supposed to work. It seems that if 3.x is installed and added to PATH environment variable, V8 compilation fails because of a syntax error:\r\n\r\n    import sys; print sys.byteorder\r\n\r\n`print` is a function in Python 3 and requires parentheses.\r\n\r\nIs there a way to make gyp use `ArangoDB\\3rdParty\\V8-4.3.61\\third_party\\python_26\\python.exe` instead of a local Python installation?"}}
