I'm not entirely sure it is a Python issue? I have Python installed on my machine;-

python3
Python 3.10.6 (main, Nov 14 2022, 16:10:14) [GCC 11.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Please advise? thanks in advance.

CodePudding user response：

It is difficult to tell just by looking at your package.json file.

However, I believe that the problem is with your dev dependency. From the error, it looks like a dependent package (most probably - axios OR laravel-mix) is using an older version that uses python2. You can see that from the below error

import sys; print "%s.%s.%s" % sys.version_info[:3]; npm ERR! gyp ERR! stack ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ npm ERR! gyp ERR! stack SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

Here are a few steps that you can follow. 1 - Try clearing the npm cache using the below command.

npm cache clean --force

2 - Try removing the above-mentioned dev dependencies and check if that solves the problem. If it does, then you just need to find the correct version of that package that would work with your node and npm. (do this if step 1 does not work).

3 - If the above does not solve your problem then try changing your node version to 16 or 18.

Try the above steps. Hope this helps resolve your problem.
