I am trying to upgrade pycairo package but getting following error:
$ python3 -m pip install -U pycairo

Where is the problem?
File Python.h means you have to install python-dev with C/C++ headers .h because it has to compile some C/C++ code.
On Linux Mint/Ubuntu/Debian it could be one of this command
apt install python-dev
apt install python3-dev
apt install python3.7-dev
