Sorry for the bug reports. All of these issues are from an installation which previously produced KDevelop binaries.

Did you check what the error message told you? 

What value does this have in kdesettings.ini:
[Paths]
PYTHON27
Comment 2 R030t1 2017-07-20 20:18:58 UTC
I found two kdesettings.ini files, one in C:\KDE\craft and one in C:\KDE\etc. Which do I need to modify? The one in C:\KDE\etc has a path for "Python" that points into C:\KDE.

For both the commented line for Python27 sets a value of C:\Python27, which isn't in the KDE root. KDE installed Python 3.6 itself, do I need to install Python 2.7 manually? Why? Why did I not receive this error before?

You need to modify the one in C:\KDE\etc\. The other one is just a template.

Yes, I think you need to install that by yourself. 

@Hannah: Or is that not true? 

> Why did I not receive this error before?

It looks like you're attempting to build KDevelop. In craft's master branch, KDevelop just started to depend on the QtWebEngine package, which requires Python2.
