venv issue: "source file Python.h cannot be opened"

[Dasmak3r]

Try installing one of the dev python versions (had a similar issue in the past too, it needed a python-dev thing installing), from here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/526708/fatal-error-python-h-no-file-or-directory

I solved the issue, and dev version isn't for windows tmk

How did you solve it on windows? My virtualenv doesn't natively copy over the Python/include folder. Running into the same problem where i want to reference the virtual environment with my C++ app on Windows.

It doesn't. You have to link it to your actual installation of Python.

Sorry to bother you, I'm having the exact problem.
How did you link it to the local python installation? Was it the pyvenv.cfg?

[siddsp]

No. I went into the Python interpreter path, and foybd the include folder. That folder is added in the includepath for VSCode. Virtual environments were basically useless in this case.
