arrayobject.h part of the source code for Python.
Developers of extensions sometimes forget to mention 
whether you'll need the Python source tree to compile 
their extensions.  Since you have Python and pyml is 
complaining, I would guess that you downloaded a 
binary version or Python or that Python came with your 
machine or OS.  If you're a Linux user, there are 
usually separate "package" and a "package-devel" packages 
or languages like Python.  The first lets you use Python, 
the second lets you develop/compile extensions that 
require various header files and such.  

The easiest solution may be to download the Python 
sources from www.python.org.  You could even get the 
new Python 1.6 sources and make sure that pyml still 
works with 1.6. :)

Good luck.
