Installation fails - missing dependency python-dev #24

Missing dependency on python-dev prevents installation
(New to Python so I don't know if this is a real defect or if there is any way 
to fix it: reporting for sake of completeness)

On Raspbian,  the latest release is already installed, so you are not likely to 
need to build and install from source. Python-dev is only a dependency when you 
want to build Python packages from source.

To install the Raspbian package anyway:
$ sudo apt-get install python-rpi.gpio python3-rpi.gpio

To upgrade to the latest version in Raspbian:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If you want to install from source anyway:
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
