Python 3.4 not supported about hydrogen

[rgbkrk]

Hey @fonnesbeck!

That's a known issue with node-gyp (nodejs/node-gyp#384), which builds native add ons (in this case zmq). I've been pushing to fix this upstream in node-gyp but haven't seen any responses by maintainers (even on issues from 2014).

Can you try installing hydrogen with the command line apm tool, setting the PYTHON environment variable?

PYTHON=python2.7 apm install hydrogen

Technically, the node-gyp instructions tell people to set it via node-gyp or npm config but with apm bundling both node-gyp and npm I'm not sure how to overwrite it.

I see. That's a deal breaker for me, as I work exclusively in Python 3 these days. Bizarre that they won't update their package.

@fonnesbeck It will still run Python 3, it's only the installer for node-gyp that needs Python 2.

From nodejs/node-gyp#193, seems like much of the issue actually comes from gyp: https://code.google.com/p/gyp/issues/detail?id=36

@willwhitney I see; I had assumed it was associated with the IPython that gets used by hydrogen. setting the PYTHON flag seems to work. Thanks.

Awesome, glad you're up and running now.

@rgbkrk I'm starting to really wish for a Javascript ZMQ implementation — gyp seems to be causing a lot of problems.

With new versions of node-gyp, they'll now also check for python2 (via nodejs/node-gyp#527). Hurrah!

Nice!
