Did that install definitely involve a build from source?

Based on the include path you have here this looks like you have a non
standard python package for EL7 (in addition to the system one, or you'd be
having a worse day), which is probably the root of your problem.

Are you using python packages from scl perhaps?
If so you probably need to install python27-python-devel (found at
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/sclo/x86_64/rh/python27/)
