I've been trying to serve an Angular webpage but it won't compile saying that it can't find node-sass module and after searching through stack overflow I find out that I should try to rebuild the module but when I do it I get a Python syntax error as shown below. I have Python version 3.8.3 and I've tried to reinstall node and angular CLI but with no avail. Do you have any idea on how can I solve this issue?
bash> npm rebuild node-sass
[...]
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: Command failed: C:\Users\rmsegec\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe -c import sys; print "%s.%s.%s" % sys.version_info[:3];
gyp ERR! stack File "<string>", line 1
gyp ERR! stack import sys; print "%s.%s.%s" % sys.version_info[:3];
gyp ERR! stack ^

I'm not sure what cause the problem that I had but I've managed to get through it. I had to configure npm to use python 2, install Visual Studio 2017 tools and install manually the angular package @angular-devkit/build-angular even though it is already been referenced in package.json.
PS: Strangely this same projects works on my friend computer that has just Visual Studio 2019 installed.
