gyp build error on Windows 10

Just published [email protected] which uses the latest of everything.

Sadly, the only solution is to install, or revert back to, Python 2, as Python 3 isn't supported by node-gyp:

Install Python 2.7 (v3.x.x is not supported)

(ref)

That is unfortunate. Thanks for looking into it, it seems that I will be using MD5 for now.

I have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed on my systems, although those are running either macOS or Linux. I would assume that something similar is also possible on Windows, but I have no experience on that subject :(

FWIW, there are plenty of other fast non-cryptographic hashes available for Node.js: xxhash, murmur, farmhash. I'm not sure if those will work without node-gyp, though.

@robertklep python 2 is no longer supported, and recent versions of node-gyp already support python 3. What do you think about python 3 support?

[robertklep]

@wedneyyuri I'm dependent on node-gyp and what it supports (or doesn't). That said, I assume that it will support Python 3 nowadays, so I'll look into it 😊
