Installing numpy, still problems

Question

I followed the instructions at http://nltk.org/install.html. My python version is 2.7.

When I try to do:

sudo pip install -U numpy

That doesn't work:

  File "numpy/core/setup.py", line 271, in check_types

    "Cannot compile 'Python.h'. Perhaps you need to "\

SystemError: Cannot compile 'Python.h'. Perhaps you need to install python-dev|python-devel.

Any ideas to help me?

Wow! Well, I have never installed them for sure. How can I install them? — Simone Romeo

As pointed out by User in the comments, executing

sudo apt-get install python-dev

in the command line will fix this problem
