Invalid syntax while trying to build js-wrappers

[Sjors]

On macOS 10.14.5 with Python 3.7.3 and Node v10.16.0. I think this fails because print "%s.%s.%s" % sys.version_info[:3]; is Python 2 syntax.

./configure --enable-debug --enable-export-all --enable-swig-python --enable-coverage --enable-js-wrappers
make

Fails with:

cd wrap_js && LIBWALLY_DIR=../.. npm_config_debug=1 yarn install
  CCLD     test_bech32
  CCLD     test_tx
yarn install v1.16.0

I think node-gyp package doesn’t work on Python 3, open issue: nodejs/node-gyp#1337 .
You could install successfully node-gyp using Python 2, and then build libwally with Python 3.

The old JS wrappers have been removed in favour of the npm auto-generated wrappers, closing.
