I'm trying to install PyQt5 on my Ubuntu 12.04 box. So after downloading it from here I untarred it, ran python configure.py and make. Make however, results in the following:
cd qpy/ && ( test -f Makefile || /opt/qt5/bin/qmake /home/kram/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.0/qpy/qpy.pro -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile
make[1]: Map '/home/kram/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.0/qpy' is entered
cd QtCore/ && ( test -f Makefile || /opt/qt5/bin/qmake /home/kram/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.0/qpy/QtCore/QtCore.pro -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile
make[2]: Map '/home/kram/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.0/qpy/QtCore' is entered
g++ -c -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -Wall -W -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_CORE_LIB -I/opt/qt5/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I. -I../../QtCore -I/usr/local/include/python2.7 -I/opt/qt5/include -I/opt/qt5/include/QtCore -I. -o qpycore_chimera.o qpycore_chimera.cpp
qpycore_chimera.cpp:21:20: fatal error: Python.h: File or folder does not exist
compilation terminated.

make[1]: Map '/home/kram/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.0/qpy' is left

(I translated some parts of the error message from Dutch to English, so some words may be a bit off from the normal wording..)
Does anybody what the problem is here? Where could the relevant Python.h file be?

Python h no such file or directory is a fatal error. If you are trying to build a shared library using a C extension file, you need to install the development version of Python. For example, if you use Python 3, you need to install the python3-dev.
Python. h is used by GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) to build applications. You need to install a package called python-dev for building Python modules, extending the Python interpreter or embedding Python in applications.
Python.h is nothing but a header file. It is used by gcc to build applications. You need to install a package called python-dev. This package includes header files, a static library and development tools for building Python modules, extending the Python interpreter or embedding Python in applications.
The problem is that the include path for all python headers in every Makefile will be pointing to /usr/local/include/python2.7 , which should have been /usr/include/python2.7
There are 2 possible solutions for this. Either you can change all the occurrence of this in every Makefile or else you can create a symlink to that location
sudo ln -s /usr/include/python2.7 /usr/local/include/python2.7
Now you can run make
