For me it got fixed by replacing python2.7 by python2.6. As per https://code.google.com/p/gyp/source/browse/trunk/DEPS#19 , it seems that gyp depends on python 2.6

On Ubuntu Saucy: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python2.6 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.6 20 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 10

you can switch between 2.6 & 2.7 using: sudo update-alternatives --config python

Btw I installed node using ppa:chris-lea/node.js

I hope this helps somebody.
