Find python header path from within python?

Question

What is the equivalent of

numpy.get_include()

as used here for Python, giving me the path to the directory where the Python header files are located?

@Rachel Gallen This is not a numpy installation problem. I just used numpy as an example of what I am after... — Woltan, Jan 17 '13 at 10:13

The header files are in include directory.

You can find the include dir using the distutils.sysconfig module

from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_inc
get_python_inc() #this gives the include dir
