Since responding to Robert above, I've successfully installed Enthought's Canopy with Python 2.7 and made it default in the command-line. I can safely check that Canopy's distribution is running, and I've quite a few of sfepy's runtime dependencies (haven't had the chance to check them all).

Also, I believe my error is the same or close to what happened in this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16176128/enthought-canopy-1-0-missing-python-h-and-other-includes

In any case, still get an error even when trying to compile with "build_ext" and "--inplace"... maybe there are CLI flags I can use to include the directory where Python.h can be found?

Finally, I'd like to get more involved with SfePy in general, but I can't seem to find IRC channels to chat with the community. I'm thinking of how I could implement structural elements: beams, plates, and whatnot.

Cheers,

Fred

Hi Fred,

How have you installed python?

You might want to consider enthought:

<https://enthought.com>

or anaconda:

<http://www.continuum.io>

As they take care of managing lots of packages/dependencies etc.
