What is your question?

[bnoordhuis]

No follow-up, closing.

[JoeyAcc]

I don't know about the OP but yeah it'd be good if gyp made the switch to Python3.

[SoulFireMage]

It'd be very good, as this is roadblocking us on our site trying to use Nimvelo.

[bnoordhuis]

A switch to python3 is unlikely to happen anytime soon but see #1092.
