Hi,

This list is for discussing the development *of* Python, not *with*
Python. Please ask on the python list, python-***@python.org (more
info here[1]) or on the #python channel on the Freenode IRC server.
StackOverflow is also a good place to search for information and ask
questions.

But while we're on the subject, on OSX I recommend using a binary
package manager such as Homebrew[2] or Macports[3] for this. I have
had good experiences using Homebrew.

Good luck,
- Tal Einat

Like Tal said. But I'm guessing you are asking about the headers for
the Apple-supplied System Pythons. On recent versions of OS X, they are
not installed by default; you need to install the Command Line Tools
component to install system headers include those for Python. How you
do that varies by OS X release. In OS X 10.9 Mavericks, you can run
"xcode-select --install". For earlier releases, there may be an option
in Xcode.app's Preferences. Or you may be able to download the right
Command Line Tools package from the Apple Developer Connection site.
