Python is required by GYP as a scripting language to automate the build process. GYP uses Python scripts to generate project files (Makefiles, Visual Studio project files, etc.) based on the specified configuration. Ensure you have Python installed (version 2.7 or 3.x are usually required, depending on the package) and that it's added to your system's `PATH` environment variable.
