Description

It all works well, I can recompile node modules, but I hoped python would be installed and able to be used by other tools as well.

Could you consider adding python to the Path variable?

After the installation, I'm still receiving the error:

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the installation script (e.g., install.js or similar) to see how it adds Node.js and npm to the PATH, then implement a similar method for Python. Ensure Python can be located or prompt the user to specify its location.
