The main issues seems ‘python2.7’ is not recognized as an internal or external command

Hello, With electron’s update to 5.0.0 I have also an issue

$ electron-rebuild -f -w sqlite3
- Searching dependency tree
An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild
Could not detect abi for version 5.0.0 and runtime electron.  Updating "node-abi" might help solve this issue if it is a new release of electron

Error: Could not detect abi for version 5.0.0 and runtime electron.  Updating "node-abi" might help solve this issue if it is a new release of electron
