subprocess32?

[ThisNameNotUsed]

I am a Computer Science student but new to a lot this stuff. I am trying to get it as right as possible.

On python's subprocess doc (https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html) they mention subprocess32 being the best of the best for linux but I can't "sudo apt-get install python-subprocess32" and when I use "pip install subprocess32" I get this output:

Am I missing something?

Code: Select all

_posixsubprocess.c:3:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

You need to install python-dev (or python3-dev for Python 3)

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-dev
sudo aptget install python3-dev

BTW: pip also needs admin permssions:

Code: Select all

sudo pip install subprocess32
