Any update on this issue?

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp

python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)

Try to install Python v2.7

[markb-trustifi]

This is well known bug with node-gyp: nodejs/node-gyp#193
There is even petition for it on change.org: https://www.change.org/p/google-inc-upgrade-gyp-to-support-python-3

[markb-trustifi]

Try to install Python v2.7

Python 2 is obsolete and is not supported and the gyp project itself is also agonizing.
You should consider moving to GN form node-gyp: nodejs/node#6089

[microshine]

There is one more WebCrypto module which doesn't require C++.

https://github.com/PeculiarVentures/webcrypto

It's based on NodeJS v10 Crypto API

@microshine I moved to https://github.com/PeculiarVentures/webcrypto and code works OK, so I can close this issue.

You can install package with alternative version of python:
npm i --python=/usr/bin/python
