I'm sure it is Python.h. The problem I think is the way we install python for 
multiple versions where the path becomes somthing like 
<prefix>/include/<python-<PYVERSION> and the binary becomes 
<prefix>/bin/python<PYVERSION>

I encounter this kind of problem with python scripts installed by third party 
packages. Most scripts define

#!/usr/bin/env python

This sucks big time, since it forces package maintainer to patch every single 
python script that is either used or installed by the package - have a look 
in apps such as pkgsrc/ham/gnuradio...

Not happy Jane!!!!
