I have tried this and this and this and this

None of those install python-dev, I got my amd64 system, 14.04 up and running, as I try to install wagtail, a django cms, I get the error:

     pysass.c:4:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory



     #include <Python.h>



                        ^



    compilation terminated.



    error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

How can I fix this and install the package?

It's because of the missing Python.hc header which is included in the python-dev package.

When I tried the above links, it says:

apt-get install python-dev

Package python-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

However the following packages replace it:

  python



E: Package 'python-dev' has no installation candidate

for apt-get install python2.7-dev

Package python2.7-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.

I have researched on the debian archives and found a package for python 2.7.8-1 but that couldn't be installed.

Tried this on launchpad too but doesn't work.
