CentOS 7 и gyp: ImportError: No module named cmake

GYP (generate your projects) is a build automation tool. GYP is created by Google to generate native IDE project files (such as Visual Studio Code and Xcode) for building the Chromium web browser and is licensed as open source software using the BSD software license.

The functionality of GYP is similar to the CMake build tool. GYP processes a file that contains a JSON dictionary[1] in order to generate one or more target project make files. The single source .GYP file is generic while the target files are specific to each targeted build tool.

Потребовалось для некоторых задач использовать gyp (wiki, 2) с опцией --format=cmake, но молвит нам компилятор ImportError: No module named cmake
Также не помогла установка python-pip && pip install cmake. Копать надо в сторону самого gyp:
$ ls -la /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gyp/generator/cmake*
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gyp/generator/cmake*: No such file or directory

То есть просто нет данного функционала в самом gyp. Но заглянув например сюда - мы этот модуль видим.
