Hidden build dependency on Python 2 #35
Description
A dependency of this project (xpc-connect) seems to be dependent on Python 2 to build, which is a problem on macOS now that Python isn't bundled with the OS anymore. This is in no way bleno's problem, but it would be helpful to add it to the Mac installation instructions.
It works for me when Python 2 is installed with pyenv and either python or python2 points to it. Also possible that upgrading the xpc-connect dependency might solve the problem, as it has a recent commit related to Mac versions (though not obviously having anything to do with Python).
With only Python 3 installed, npm install produces the following.
