I have the same issue with python 3.6 installed.
The code for version check uses print statement, which does not exist in python 3.
In python 3, there's only print function.

change following line (in node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js)
var args = ['-c', 'import sys; print "%s.%s.%s" % sys.version_info[:3];']
to this (add parentheses)
var args = ['-c', 'import sys; print ("%s.%s.%s" % sys.version_info[:3]);']

Python 3 is not supported, use Python 2.x for node-gyp

Thanks a lot guys.
I reverted to Python 2.7, and then moved ahead with the work.
