Why can’t Python.h be found?

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Method 1
Your install is failing because you don’t have the python development headers installed. You can do this through apt on ubuntu/debian with:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
for python3 use:
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
For eventlet you might also need the libevent libraries installed so if you get an error talking about that you can install libevent with:
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
Method 2
For Fedora:
sudo yum install python-devel sudo yum install libevent-devel
and finally:
sudo easy_install gevent
Method 3
What worked for me on CentOS was:
sudo yum -y install gcc sudo yum install python-devel
Method 4
For Redhat Versions(Centos 7) Use the below command to install Python Development Package
Python 2.7
sudo yum install python-dev
Python 3.4
sudo yum install python34-devel
Python 3.6
sudo yum install python36-devel
If the issue is still not resolved then try installing the below packages –
sudo yum install python-devel sudo yum install openssl-devel sudo yum install libffi-devel
Method 5
On MacOS I had trouble installing fbprophet which requires pystan which requires gcc to compile. I would consistently get the same error: command ‘gcc’ failed with exit status 1
I think I fixed the problem for myself thus:
I used brew install gcc to install the newest version, which ended up being gcc-8
Then I made sure that when gcc ran it would use gcc-8 instead.
It either worked because I added alias gcc='gcc-8 in my .zshrc (same as .bashrc but for zsh), or because I ran export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH (see comment)
Also: all my attempts were inside a virtual environment and I only succeeded by installing fbprophet globally (with pip), but still no success inside a venv
Method 6
This is an old post but I just run to the same problem on AWS EC2 installing regex. This working perfectly for me
sudo yum -y install gcc
and next
sudo yum -y install gcc-c++
Method 7
try this :
sudo apt-get install libblas-dev libatlas-base-dev
I had a similar issue on Ubuntu 14.04. For me the following Ubuntu packages
Method 8
On MacOS I also had problems trying to install fbprophet which had gcc as one of its dependencies.
After trying several steps as recommended by @Boris the command below from the Facebook Prophet project page worked for me in the end.
conda install -c conda-forge fbprophet
It installed all the needed dependencies for fbprophet. Make sure you have anaconda installed.
Method 9
If it is still not working, you can try this
sudo apt-get install build-essential
in my case, it solved the problem.
Method 10
This page is gonna save your life, for all further lib issues that are forthcoming,
For Alpine(>=3.6), use
apk --update --upgrade add gcc musl-dev jpeg-dev zlib-dev libffi-dev cairo-dev pango-dev gdk-pixbuf-dev
Method 11
For CentOS 7.2：
LSB Version: :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) Release: 7.2.1511 Codename: Core
Install eventlet:

For openSUSE 42.1 Leap Linux use this
sudo zypper install python3-devel
Method 13
I am using MacOS catalina 10.15.4. None of the posted solutions worked for me. What worked for me is:
>> xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates
>> env LDFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" pip install psycopg2==2.8.4
Collecting psycopg2==2.8.4
Using cached psycopg2-2.8.4.tar.gz (377 kB)
Installing collected packages: psycopg2
Attempting uninstall: psycopg2
Found existing installation: psycopg2 2.7.7
Uninstalling psycopg2-2.7.7:
Successfully uninstalled psycopg2-2.7.7
Running setup.py install for psycopg2 ... done
Successfully installed psycopg2-2.8.4
use pip3 for python3
Method 14
if you are on Mac as myself, try this in your terminal: xcode-select --install
Then accept the installation request, and it works afterwards as described in this issue
Method 15
Build from source and install, this is fixed in the latest release (10.3+):
mkdir -p /tmp/install/netifaces/ cd /tmp/install/netifaces && wget -O "netifaces-0.10.4.tar.gz" "https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/n/netifaces/netifaces-0.10.4.tar.gz#md5=36da76e2cfadd24cc7510c2c0012eb1e" tar xvzf netifaces-0.10.4.tar.gz cd netifaces-0.10.4 && python setup.py install
Method 16
Similarly I fixed it like this (notice python34):
sudo yum install python34-devel
Method 17
sudo apt install gcc
It works for PyCharm on Ubuntu 20.10.
Method 18
If you are migrating to a more modern version of python3 e.g. python3.5 to python3.8 You may want to check/upgrade the versions of the library that are failing if you have already installed the recommended libraries to handle gcc building python3-dev + other libraries as suggested.
It depends on the package. Some versions of the packages may not be supported on later versions of python3.
