With WinPython and gcc: add -I"[WinPythonFolder]\[python-ver.amd64]\include

eg:

 gcc read_wfm_wrap.c -I"C:\Python\WinPython-64bit-3.6.3.0Qt5\python-3.6.3.amd64\include"

Usually, Python.h and all the header files it includes in it resides in include folder of Python's installation directory. You could just copy either all the header files from Python's include folder C:\Py\Anaconda3\include to gcc|cl 's include folder (Mine looks like this, C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include) or only to the point where header files dependencies are resolved.

In code::blocks just go to the Project tab. Then you open Build Options > Search Directories' and clickAdd`.

You then browse to the directory of your python installation and select the include folder (or copy-paste the include folder to your project folder and add that folder itself to the list).

Select not to keep relative path.

That definitely fixes the problem and a similar solution should be used for other IDEs.
