The first thing to try is to install the appropriate module via your package manager. Each distro has many, many, many Python modules already packaged and ready to go.

If you insist on installing a module from source then you'll need the development package for your distro's Python. This is usually called python-devel, python-dev, or something similar. Use the package manager to install it.
