nodejs fails to build if python3x is the currently selected python

[linhares.mauricio@…]

When trying to build nodejs, if any of the python3x versions is available the build is going to fail with the following trace:

The solution might be ask for the user to select a previous version (like python27) or select an older python if available instead of using the currently selected python.

The solution might be ask for the user to select a previous version (like python27) or select an older python if available instead of using the currently selected python.

Python27 is actually an build phase dependency, but some scripts in the build process used the default python (#!/usr/bin/env python). Fixed in r82093.
