Call to 'python get_regvalue.py' returned exit status 1 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp

[Seda145]

npm fails at installing psarcjs. Since most files are quite outdated I had to do the following to get rid of the first errors:

1. install VS 2017 community. 2. install python 3.6. 3. install node v12. I tried various other combinations but it all ends in the following:

npm : File "get_regvalue.py", line 16
At line:1 char:1

• npm install psarcjs

•   + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (  File "get_regvalue.py", line 16:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
  
  
    print get_regvalue('SOFTWARE\\ImageMagick\\Current', 'LibPath')
  
                     ^
  
  

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
