>>> import distutils.sysconfig
>>> print distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('SIZEOF_VOID_P')
None

Thanks, I found the problem, python doesn't have devel stuff like 
config/Makefile. A complete python3.5 with config/Makefile solved the 
problem .

"distutils gets its compiler options from Python's Makefile", and I don't 
have config/Makefile correctly build ...

Big thanks,
