Describe the bug

When attempting to install dependencies of this repository on a system running python >= 3.12, the pnpm install crashes with the following:

This error is because the version of node-gyp being used does not support python 3.12+: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-gyp/v/9.3.1

The latest version of node-gyp (11.4.2) has the following requirements:

Python >= v3.12 requires node-gyp >= v10

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-gyp

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have python 3.12+ in your local environment as python
2. pnpm install

Expected behavior

Installation should complete fine.

Details

• Operating system: macOS Sequoia
• Node version: 18.20.8 (per nvmrc in this repo, note: node.js 18 is EOL)

Additional context

Note: the above log says for sharp 0.34.3, which I tried first after ^0.33.5 failed, before realising this was an issue with the node-gyp version, but the error is the same.
