On Centos Linux, how to install Python package 'readline' using pip?
Question: Using the regular command `sudo pip install readline` I got an error

    
    
    Command "/usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-Ax57Qh/readline/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-KRvGg7-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-Ax57Qh/readline
    

The complete console output is

    
    
    sudo pip install readline

**Update** : adding path to `$CPATH` does NOT help

    -bash-4.2$ echo $CPATH
    /usr/include/python2.7/
    

and I still get the _same_ error running `sudo pip install readline`:

    
    
    Command "/usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-NP1WUS/readline/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-9Uamrv-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-NP1WUS/readline
    

Then the said file no longer exist in tmp/:

    
    
    -bash-4.2$ ls -la /tmp/pip-build-*
    ls: cannot access /tmp/pip-build-*: No such file or directory
    


Answer: Don't know for sure but:

Try installing `sudo yum install python-devel`

EDIT: Can you check if the directory /usr/include/python2.7 actually exists?
Looks like gcc can't find the libraries for Python.
