GCC error in python virtual environment in docker

I have a docker file where i am creating a virtual environment in python 2.7.15 and installing all required python dependencies for my project.

Some of the dependencies require gcc to compile like pandas, lz4 .. are failing with below error,

 pandas/io/sas/sas.c:4:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
     #include "Python.h"
                        ^
    compilation terminated.
    error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Even i tired installing python-devel , gcc also in the docker. But doesn't help.

RUN yum install -y python-pip python-devel gcc
