Install fails

Hi there. Cool concept :). I tried it on two different systems with no luck. Both running node 4.2.2 that the README recommends.

 λ npm install -g nplaym

> [email protected] install /Users/rsteinert/.nvm/versions/node/v4.2.2/lib/node_modules/nplaym/node_modules/child_pty
> node-gyp rebuild

Install a better python... NodeGYP should have an environment variable that allows you to select a different python interpreter. This is unfortunate, but NodeGYP operates on Google's GYP, which is python based.
