pymt/c_ext/transformations.c:68: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

to compile c extensions we need python-dev.  nto sure if xython also installs 
python-dev, but i think so.  need to change setup.py so it onoy tries compiling 
transformations.c if python.h is found.

i don't agree, python-pymt depend on python-dev, and other extension too.
on wiki, we give one line that install poython-dev too. :)

and in the future pymt version, it will be required anyway. so it's cool to let 
the error here, and even write a better error like: "you miss to install 
python-dev package." ^^

ok, didnt realize python-pymt had teh dependency installed..so this is only 
problem if installing from source, whic is ok, since you must install deps 
yourself
