Your default python executable on Windows seems to be Python 3, but at this point Node.js only supports building with Python 2. Usually, there should be a more helpful error message that points this out, but since nodejs/node@074e7f8 (my bad), the
0775token leads to an early syntax error in Python 3.build: use `0o` octal notation in configure

This is a bit strange, since
vcbuild.battried to validate it's using python2.@djmangoo could you run the following and post the results:
build: use `0o` octal notation in configure
build: use `0o` octal notation in configure
build: use `0o` octal notation in configure
build: use `0o` octal notation in configure
