You need to install Python on your machine or fix the current installation.

Please refer to this answer on how to do that.

never had a problem with npm install until now

Roman Stetsyshin Over a year ago

this is because npm relies on Python interpreter to build this module. Can you launch cmd.exe, run "python" command from there and see if it works?

python is runnng fine if you look at the error its saying to install MS Visual Studio MSBUILD : error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe". To fix this, 1) install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK, 2) install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 3) add the location of the component to the system path if it is installed elsewhere. [C:\fuckyou\node_modules\client-session\build\binding.sln]
