Error install about asyncawait HOT 4 CLOSED

This is an error installing node-fibers. It is not an error with asyncawait.

asyncawait depends on node-fibers to provide its coroutines.

node-fibers is a binary module so it has a special compilation step. This step can be skipped if you use node version 0.10.x, because it bundles pre-built binaries for established node versions.

If you are using iojs or node 0.12.x, then read on.

Unfortunately, node-fibers is less actively maintained at the moment so it hasn't kept up with the latest node and iojs changes. It's still possible to install node-fibers on these newer versions, but requires doing the build step. This step is automatic, by relies on node-gyp, which requires python to be installed on your computer. The node-fibers or node-gyp READMEs should have more instructions.

For iojs even that is not enough. Many binary modules (such as node-fibers) keep breaking with the rapid iojs update cycle, because they compile against the underlying V8 version which is frequently updated in iojs, and its changing API breaks builds. node-gyp itself needs special steps to get working on iojs.

I can't give many more details than that but hopefully you get the idea:

• avoid iojs for now if you depend directly or indirectly on binary modules (such as node-fibers)
• if you are using node 0.12.x, try installing python first, then your problem should be fixed
• if the above fails, try using node 0.10.x and it should install without problems.

ok. i install Python and Python Tools for Visual Studio, but new error:

gyp ERR! stack Error: Python executable "python" is v3.4.3, which is not supported by gyp.

It looks like a joke on me, no desire even to reinstall the old version ... ((

FYI From the node-gyp README:

On Windows:
Python (v2.7.3 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
Make sure that you have a PYTHON environment variable, and it is set to drive:\path\to\python.exe not to a folder.

Also, no need for PTVS, only node-gyp needs python.
