python.exe Syntax issue - NPM

Two solution we can try in this case

  1. Downgrade Python to 2.x.

  2. Install the packages using npm install --ignore-scripts

    NOTE: This will cause npm to stop running scripts defined in the package.json


The command you are attempting to run uses Python 2 syntax. It is incompatible with Python 3, so if you try to use that, you should get a syntax error.

Either upgrade the script to Python 3 (about time already), or fix the execution path so that it can be run with the obsolescent Python version.
