Well I know python 1.x and 2.x are somewhat different.  I would have
thought if there were any problems with it, that the current versions
would have fixed that given they seem to have had a release only a few
months ago.

Now as for Python.h, well on debian at least that exists in the
packages:
python2.3-dev
python2.4-dev
python2.5-dev

So install the one that matches your python version, and then you should
be able to compile python extensions.
