Build V8 from source failing at gclient

Question

I wanted to try building Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine from source (I'm on Windows, so that adds to the pain) and I followed This Guide which walks through how to build V8. I follow the instructions as closely as I can, but when I run $ gclient, I get the following error:

The system cannot find the file C:\Program.
Could not extract Python version from manifest.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\depot_tools\gclient.py", line 99, in <module>
    import urlparse
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'urlparse'

I have even tripple checked my PATH ENV_VAR and everything is correct, so why is this happenning, and how do I resolve it?

Thanks
