Why do you use source tarballs?  Your distro should provide nice
binary packages for Python and mod_wsgi.  And in case it doesn’t, your
distro sucks and you should find a better one.

The development things are usually installed by default by most
things.  Distributions offer them in -dev or -devel packages.
