Hmm it's odd I can install node-gyp locally just fine with *npm install node-gyp* without the python issue. It's just when node-gyp is is a dependency I get the python issue.
Well regardless, do you recommend I change my python path to 2.7 or is it possible to use the --python switch as it says in the error? I cannot seem to find any information about this --python switch anywhere.
