python-dev and setting up setting up f2py on Windows XP

[akameswaran at gmail.com]

I'm really not familiar with the package you are trying to use, nor
that familiar with what you get on windows.  I would guess you did a
binary installation download, and you may need to get the python source
tarball instead - in order to get the files you need.

Barring that, I'm certain the headers are available through
sourceforge, they provide svn access for building python itself:  more

Hope this helps.
