Im using python 2.7.2, can anyone help me?

Building scratch-blocks on Windows, from what I've heard, is a mess.
Try using Windows Subsystem for Linux, and more help can be found here.

You could try applying the changes from this PR to make Windows builds work, and you might want to change your package.json to point to your Python 2 installation if it isn't directly at “python” too edit: nevermind, the OP already uses Python 2.

Hey, can you please reinstall python 2 but this time select the Add to PATH on the install screen where it says “Customize Python 2?”

I cant find the Add to PATH button

Modify scratch-blocks' package.json to point to your Python 2 installation, for example using “python2” instead of “python”.
