Rise - install decktape in winpython

[LucK]

I'm trying to add the ability to print a rise slideshow via "decktape" to pdf according to the following approach shown at jupytercon and it fails (see log below). 

Has anyone tried to install this in winpython with success?

node-gyp doesn't work well, requires dying python-2.7.

suggested options to get a pdf from rise, as of now:

- use nbconvert: https://github.com/damianavila/RISE/blob/master/doc/exportpdf.rst

- or maybe experiment this (didn't try)  ? https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools

Thanks for the info. I've noticed that these tools already caused  some problems but didn't find a good reason for the problem I faced.

I'll stick to the first solution for the time being (must deliver my slides for a presentation in the coming week so no time to experiment anymore). 

I'll keep you posted if the second option works.

found the procedure there:

I'm not a fan of the idea to install anything python-2.7. 

[LucK]

Thanks a lot, I'll try it out. Can't believe I missed this.

I agree regarding python-2.7.
