Bug Description
Hello,
The python-dev package should allow you to run "python setup.py" if the C modules don't depend on special libraries. However, Python.h uses stdio.h and friends, which are a part of the libc6-dev package, so even the simplest module won't compile without that package. So it should be added to the list of dependencies.
Thanks,
Noam
