[Distutils] Problems using pip on Ubuntu when 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 are installed

[Leonardo Rochael Almeida]

Hi Mr(s) Versions,

Your "locate" output shows that you have a manual installation of Python
3.4 on /usr/local, and it's possible that "/usr/local/bin" is ahead of
"/usr/bin" in your PATH, which is why pip3 installs into Python 3.4.

>From your error message with Python 3.5, it seems like your Python 3.5 is a
"System Python", i.e., a Python that was installed with the package manager
for your system, but that your Python development packages wasn't installed
yet.

If yours is a Debian style system, you might need to install the
"python-dev" or perhaps a "python3.5-dev" package. E.g.:

   - apt-get install python-dev

If your system is Redhat based (Fedora, RHEL (do we already have python3.5
in any RHEL release?)), then you're looking for a "python-devel" or
"python3.5-devel" package. Something like:

   - yum install python-dev

Hope it helps.

Best regards,

Leo
