On 'npm update' i got the error posted below. Obviously, the gyp expects 'python' to be version 2.x. I have python 2 and 3 installed. 'python' is a symlink to python 3.3, while python2 is available on my system for python 2.7.\n\nSo: Wouldn't it be possible to try multiple binaries / symlinks via gyp? Maybe: If 'python' is version 3.x, try 'python2'?\n\nHere is the stderr output:\ngyp ERR! configure error \ngyp ERR! stack Error: Python executable \"python\" is v3.3.0, which is not supported by gyp.\ngyp ERR! stack You can pass the --python switch to point to Python \u003e= v2.5.0 \u0026 \u003c 3.0.0.\ngyp ERR! stack     at failPythonVersion (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:118:14)\ngyp ERR! stack     at /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:107:9\ngyp ERR! stack     at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:600:7)\ngyp ERR! stack     at ChildProcess.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:98:17)\ngyp ERR! stack     at maybeClose (child_process.js:700:16)\ngyp ERR! stack     at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:767:5)\ngyp ERR!
