Compilation logs for python-numpy (shows detailed error)

python-numpy build fails with the error "SystemError: Cannot compile 'Python.h'. Perhaps you need to install python-dev|python-devel."

If I install python-dev on my host (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), this issue goes away.

Not sure if this is the desired behaviour but I did not find it obvious that something needs to be installed on the host to get this working.

I can't replicate this on my host with no python headers installed.  Re-assigning to the submitter and setting to NEEDINFO - Magnus, can you replicate this still?
Comment 2 Magnus Olsson 2015-02-18 07:43:44 UTC 
I can no longer reproduce this on Dizzy, I previously had this issue on Daisy. So it's likely that it has been fixed, but I'm unable to locate any specific commit since a lot has changed regarding python when moving to Dizzy. So I'm closing the bug. I tried to reproduce it on a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 VM, which didn't have python-dev installed, and it works fine.
