Hi!

I'm new to node.js development and I don't know why parse server need Python installed. Is it possible to use Parse server without it? Any bypass it?

I wan't setup parse-server on openshit but unfortunately I have problems because of python dependency :(

Cheers!

Node.js is built with GYP — cross-platform built tool written in Python. Also some other build steps are implemented in Python. So Python is required for building node from source.

But you also need Python for building native addons.

Thank you for your answer! @cainoeraabele is it possible to build this native addons on other machine and deploy them on server without python installed?

bcrypt is the issue here which requires python, because it needs to be compiled on the target. I think you should work on getting python 2.7 running.. don't think we can avoid this dependency.

Is this still true @gfosco? I was able to run parse-server in Windows 8 without installing Python, and I'm seeing bcrypt hashes in my MongoDB.

That doesn't seem to be true, we changed the bcrypt libs for native or node versions and a fallback is provided in case the native version can't be built.
