To include the headers, place both directories (if different) on your
compiler's search path for includes. Do \emph{not} place the parent
directories on the search path and then use
\samp{\#include <python1.5/Python.h>}; this will break on
\samp{\#include <python\var{version}/Python.h>}; this will break on
multi-platform builds since the platform independent headers under
\envvar{prefix} include the platform specific headers from

For instance, if the Python executable is found in
