to compile c extensions we need python-dev. nto sure if xython also installs python-dev, but i think so. need to change setup.py so it onoy tries compiling transformations.c if python.h is found.

i don't agree, python-pymt depend on python-dev, and other extension too. on wiki, we give one line that install poython-dev too. :)

and in the future pymt version, it will be required anyway. so it's cool to let the error here, and even write a better error like: "you miss to install python-dev package." ^^

ok, didnt realize python-pymt had teh dependency installed..so this is only problem if installing from source, whic is ok, since you must install deps yourself
