I installed node and npm via pkg, then try to install a module that needs to compile a native module. This fails because the "python" command is not found. I can work around this by running `env PYTHON=python2.7 npm i $package`. Example error: $ npm i unix-dgram > unix-dgram@2.0.0 install /usr/home/bhughes/someproject/node_modules/unix-dgram > node-gyp rebuild gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable. gyp ERR! stack at PythonFinder.failNoPython (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:454:19) gyp ERR! stack at PythonFinder.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:368:16) gyp ERR! stack at F (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/which.js:68:16) gyp ERR! stack at E (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/which.js:80:29) gyp ERR! stack at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/which.js:89:16 gyp ERR! stack at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/node_modules/isexe/index.js:44:5 gyp ERR! stack at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/node_modules/isexe/access.js:8:5 gyp ERR! stack at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:114:15) gyp ERR!

Bradley, could you please check if it works with python2 installed?
(In reply to Po-Chuan Hsieh from comment #1) Yes, it does work after `pkg install python2`
