I assume the error there is pretty clear:

gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python", you can set the PYTHON env variable.

Python should be installed and the PYTHON environment variable should be set.

This is not merely going to go away by setting the path.

before running npm install -g appium you need to run below command:

npm --add-python-to-path='true' --debug install --global windows-build-tool
