using it with appjs, I got this error:

Are you using Python 3? That version is unsupported. You need Python 2.7.

Just got the following with Python 2.7.3:

C:\Users\John\projects\node-sync\node_modules\hook.io\node_modules\weak\build\w
eakref.vcxproj(1,682): error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.De
fault.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration i
s correct, and that the file exists on disk.

As far as I can tell, this is originating from node-gyp as a result of an attempted install of node-weak on Windows 7.
