You encounter "Python. h: No such file or directory" error while trying to build a shared library using the file extension of another language ( e.g. 'C' ). If you are trying to build a shared library using the file extension of another language, you need to install the correct development version of Python.
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.
Python 2:
sudo apt-get install python-dev Python 3:
sudo apt-get install python3-dev This is a dependency issue.
I resolved this issue on Ubuntu using apt-get. Substitute it with a package manager appropriate to your system.
For any current Python version:
sudo apt-get install python-dev For alternative Python version:
sudo apt-get install python<version>-dev For example 3.5 as alternative:
sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
