I'm trying to get Devise to work, seems like it requires therubyracer gem. That requires the libv8 gem. I got an error it couldn't find python2, so I installed python 2.7 and copied python.exe to python2.exe... and added C:\Python27 to my path. Then it's complaining:

$ gem install therubyracer
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing therubyracer:

You can install an earlier version of libv8 on Windows, but apparenty rubyracer uses 3.11.8.5

gem install libv8 -v 3.11.8
