As far as I know a Node package does not only have to consist of only JavaScript. It could require python or contain C.
CasperJS even contains C#:

NodeJS itself uses gyp so naturally I would assume it also requires python if it is not already present on your machine:

1OP is talking about node itself, not a package, and *most* of node is written in C++. – Jared Smith Sep 24 '18 at 22:54

I am not installing any specific package, just a "default" Node 8.12 installation. – marko-36 Sep 24 '18 at 22:56

it uses `gyp` which is a python package, so it needs python: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/meta/topics/dependencies/#gyp – mchl18 Sep 24 '18 at 23:15
