Yes, you are right. Should be <Python.h>. I was sloppy in my post.
GCC should be generous and accept "Python.h", too, but it might not
work with all compilers.

I checked my current project code, it has <Python.h>. I don't know what
everyone else writes. :)

Not exactly related to your question, but if you are doing embedding,
have a look at Pyrex which can be misused for extremely simple embedding
as it saves you the need to write all the C boilerplate code. This isn't
exactly what Pyrex is made for, but is a wonderful way to save some
time and efforts.
