How to download Python.h header file on Mac?

I am trying to write Python C extensions and I'm on a mac. I know how to install the Python.h header file on Linux, but I don't know how to do it on a Mac. How can I install it?

Solution

  • The Python header file is a framework on Mac. You have to include it like this:

    #include <Python/Python.h>
