PyObject_HEAD is a macro defined in the Python headers. It provides the
internal fields common to all Python objects to provide garbage
collection and other services. If that's throwing errors, then your
compiler isn't finding the headers. Check to see if you have the file
/usr/include/python*/Python.h on your system.
