I am on a Fedora x86 system and I follow exactly the two build methods in the INSTALL file.  Python.h is definitely installed - I use it often for other projects.

# first way...
kbriggs at gold:~/Download/py2cairo-1.10.0> ./waf configure --prefix=/usr/local
  ./options()
Setting top to                           : /home/kbriggs/Download/py2cairo-1.10.0 
Setting out to                           : /home/kbriggs/Download/py2cairo-1.10.0/build_directory 
  ./configure()
Checking for 'gcc' (c compiler)          : ok 
Checking for program python              : /usr/local/bin/python 
Checking for python version              : (2, 7, 2, 'final', 0) 
Checking for library python2.7           : yes 
Checking for program python2.7-config    : /usr/local/bin/python2.7-config 
Checking for header Python.h             : Could not find the python development headers 
The configuration failed
(complete log in /home/kbriggs/Download/py2cairo-1.10.0/build_directory/config.log)

kbriggs at gold:~/Download/py2cairo-1.10.0> find /usr/local/include -name Python.h  
/usr/local/include/python2.7/Python.h

# second way...
kbriggs at gold:~/Download/py2cairo-1.10.0> python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"
/usr/local
kbriggs at gold:~/Download/py2cairo-1.10.0> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
