Andrey,
I'm not sure what a Darwin machine is (MacOS X?), but make sure you have
both runtime and development packages installed. On Redhat-derived Linux
systems Python is packaged in two or more pieces (typically "python" and
"python-devel"). It sounds like you don't have the development package
installed. If Python is in /usr/bin/python, Python.h is probably in
/usr/include/pythonX.Y, where X.Y is the version number (e.g. "2.1").
If you built Python yourself, make sure you have it installed properly.
